The Black Reward hacking group has claimed to have infiltrated the archives of Iran's Atomic Energy Production and Development Company (NPPD) and announced that they will release sensitive information about the Islamic republic's nuclear program on Sunday if the authorities in Tehran do not release all political prisoners and detainees in the wave of protests over the death in custody of young Mahsa Amini.

"Twenty-four difficult and important hours have just begun for the Islamic Republic as of this moment," the group announced early Saturday on its Twitter account alongside blurred images of documents allegedly taken from the company's confidential archives, according to the pan-Arab Al Arabiya network.
If the authorities do not release the prisoners, the group announces that it will disclose information on the "careless nuclear project of the mullahs' regime". Iranian officials, they add, "are well aware of the impact that the disclosure of this hacked data will have", according to the statement published by the Iran International portal, which is linked by the Iranian authorities to opposition groups.
The Iranian authorities have not yet commented on this ultimatum or confirmed any computer operation against the company's archives.
The NPPD is directly responsible for studies, construction and safe operation of nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel supply, as well as support and cooperation in the manufacture of tools, instruments, equipment, components and facilities required for nuclear power plants and all related accessories within the country.
