Wired<\/i> has the story<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Shortly after the first set of explosions, Iranians received bursts of notifications on their phones. They came not from the government advising caution, but from an apparently hacked prayer-timing app called BadeSaba Calendar that has been downloaded more than 5 million times from the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n

The messages arrived in quick succession over a period of 30 minutes, starting with the phrase \u2018Help has arrived\u2019 at 9:52 am Tehran time, shortly after the first set of explosions. No party has claimed responsibility for the hacks.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

It happened so fast that this is most likely a government operation. I can easily envision both the US and Israel having hacked the app previously, and then deciding that this is a good use of that access.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
