Shahindokht Molaverdi, the Vice President for Women and Family Affairs of Iran, announced on Wednesday, April 20, that her Facebook and Gmail accounts had been hacked through a message posted on her Telegram and Twitter pages. In her message, Molaverdi urged her followers to "strongly refrain" from responding to messages sent by hackers through her hacked Facebook and Gmail accounts. Some journalists reported that hackers attempted to communicate from Molaverdi's hacked accounts on Wednesday. The Vice President, who serves under Hassan Rouhani, also stated in an interview with the 'Moj' news agency that measures were being taken to resolve the issue of her hacked Facebook and Gmail accounts. The hacking incident occurred just one day after many Iranian news agencies reported her summons to the prosecutor's office. Molaverdi expressed her reluctance to discuss her summons and preferred to remain silent to allow the issue to fade from memory. She was summoned to court due to her comments about a village in Sistan and Baluchestan, where she had previously stated, "There is a village in Sistan and Baluchestan where all the men of the village have been executed." She referred to the survivors of the executed families as "potential traffickers."
