Profile narrative
Black Reward, also known as Black Reward Team, is a hacktivist group linked to Russia that has targeted Iranian government entities, including the Fars News Agency and a subsidiary of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization. In its operations the group has claimed to delete large volumes of data, exfiltrate emails and documents, and leak the stolen material via Telegram channels while also using compromised social media accounts to disseminate video content. The actors state that their actions are intended to support social justice causes, honor Mahsa Amini, attract public attention, and damage the reputation of their victims through psychological operations. No public attribution to a state sponsor or criminal consortium has been made beyond the group's alleged Russian location.
