An Iranian hacker going with the handle of MoHaMaD VaKeR hacked and defaced the official sub-domain of Telecommunications Regulatory Authority (TRA) of United Arab Emirates (UAE), two days ago on 25th Oct 2014.

The targeted sub-domain reportedly belongs to IPV6 training forum.

Hacker left a deface page along with a message on hacked domain, bashing the site admin for poor security.

The reason for targeting TRA’s website was not mentioned anywhere, but abusive words against USA and Israel were left in bold letters. This leads to the conclusion that it was just a random hack, but considering the importance of the institution; it is impossible to ignore it.

Other than the TRA, same Iranian hacker also hacked the official website of WSIS National Committee of UAE.
