Sharif University says hack briefly restored site to Aryamehr name
Sharif University of Technology said a cyber attack briefly restored its website to the name “Aryamehr,” the title the institution held before the 1979 revolution.
Established in 1966 under Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi as Aryamehr University of Technology, the university later changed its name to Sharif University of Technology. Images shared online showed the old name and logo displayed on the homepage late on Monday before the site went offline.
The university’s public relations office said technical teams worked to resolve the issue, and the website was later restored. Some students said protest messages were sent through the university’s online system and that a group of students took responsibility.
