Today, Sunday, official media reported that the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said that the e-mail server of one of its subsidiaries was hacked by a foreign country, while an Iranian hacking group claimed that it was in the name of Mahsa Amini, who died after being detained by the Guidance Police.
The General Department of Public Diplomacy and Information of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran said that "this step was taken with the aim of attracting public attention."
State media stated that "it should be noted that the content of users' emails includes technical messages and current daily routine exchanges."
For its part, the Iranian "Black Reward" hacking group said - in a statement posted on Twitter - that it had published information it obtained from the hack related to Iranian nuclear activities.
The group's statement, which was published on Saturday, announced its support for the protesters in Iran, concluding that it was "in the name of Mahsa Amini and for the sake of women, life and freedom."
This breakthrough comes at a time when the popular protests in Iran entered their sixth week, which began on September 16, after the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, 3 days after her arrest by the Guidance Police in Tehran for "violating the rules of modest dress."
A Black Reward statement said the information published included "administrative and operational schedules for various parts of the Bushehr Power Plant" and "atomic development contracts and agreements with local and foreign partners."
Talks between world powers and Iran aimed at reviving the 2015 nuclear deal have stalled, with the United States saying on October 12 that Tehran had shown little interest in reviving the accord.
