According to prosecutors, Iranian intelligence hacked an SMS operator to send 15,000 messages inciting revenge against Quran protesters, aiming to create societal division in Sweden.
Sapo detailed that a hacker group associated with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard executed an influence campaign, fabricating a narrative of Sweden as an Islamophobic nation.
Swedish Justice Minister Gunnar Strommer characterized the act as serious, highlighting concerns over foreign influence aimed at destabilizing or increasing polarization within Sweden.
Prosecution indicated that the Anzu team was behind the operation, but closed the investigation due to difficulties in pursuing suspects linked to a foreign power.
