Hackers, apparently linked to Iran, said Friday they had broken into the servers of Israeli internet hosting company Cyberserve, bringing down a number of widely used websites.

The Black Shadow group, which Hebrew-language media reports said was Iranian, warned the Israeli company that it was in possession of data that could be leaked. The group has not confirmed that it is Tehran-backed.

You may ask what about Data? As always, we have lots of it. If you don’t want your Data leaked by us, contact us soon.”
