Justice Department seizes domains linked to Iran hacker group

The seized domains “Justicehomeland.org,” “Handala-Hack.to,” “Karmabelow80.org,” and “Handala-Redwanted.to,” were also used by Iranian Intelligence and Security Ministry to claim credit for hacking and to post sensitive data, the Justice Department said Thursday. According to the Justice Department, the group used the domain Handala-hack.to claim credit for the malware attack. The group also harassed and sent death threats to Iranian dissidents and journalists, both in the U.S. and abroad.
