The BBC is not providing detail of the timing or nature of the cyber-attack. A “sophisticated cyber-attack” on the BBC has been linked to Iran’s efforts to disrupt the BBC Persian Service. In a speech Director General Mark Thompson plans to say that the internet attack coincided with efforts to jam two of the service’s satellite feeds into Iran. He will say: “We regard the coincidence of these different attacks as self-evidently suspicious.” Last month Mr Thompson accused Iran of intimidating Persian service workers. Reporters Without Borders has also complained about Iran’s “cyber-army”.
