Saudi Arabia along with its allies is fighting a war in Yemen while their hackers are fighting an online war against Iran, accusing the country of supporting Houthi forces.

A Saudi hacker going with the handle of RxR HaCker hacked and defaced the official website of Iranian Ministry of Defense recently.

The targeted domain belongs to Gozinesh recruitment department, which details with the job placement of religious and ethnic minorities in the country’s defense sector.

The hacker left a deface page along with a message on the hacked site, insulting the Iran’s supreme leader Ali Khamenei over war in Yemen. The page also shows image of Saudi king Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud.

This is not the first time when Saudi hackers have attacked high-profile Iranian online platform. In April 13, 2015, Iran’ state TV social media accounts were hacked in support of Saudi Arabia in Yemen war.
