’Iranian hackers' breach US government website operated by the Federal Depository Library Program in retaliation for airstrike

A website operated by the U.S. government has been hacked by a group claiming to represent the government of Iran.

The website operated by the little-known Federal Depository Library Program, fdlp.gov, was hacked and defaced on Saturday, and has been taken offline.

A message from the hackers left on the website read: 'in the name of god. >>>>> Hacked By Iran Cyber Security Group HackerS ... <<<<<. This is only small part of Iran's cyber ability ! We're always ready.'

The FDLP is a program created to make federal government publications available to the public at no cost.


The hackers in their message made reference to the death of Qassem Soleimani, and depicted President Donald Trump being beaten by a fist with the Revolutionary Guard insignia
