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.
