A group claiming to be hackers from Iran breached a U.S. government website on Jan. 4, just a day after the Department of Homeland Security warned of potential cyberattacks on the United States in the aftermath of a U.S. airstrike that killed Iran’s most powerful military leader.

Timeshots of the website on the Wayback Machine digital archive show the homepage for the Federal Depository Library Program (FDLP.gov) replaced with a page titled “Iranian Hackers!”, which displayed images of Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and the Iranian flag.
