Iran’s state media reported a cyberattack impacting card-based banking services at three major Iranian lenders. The attack reportedly disrupted ATM services and online banking platforms across the country, causing widespread inconvenience for citizens. Authorities have confirmed the incident but have not yet attributed responsibility. While some reports initially suggested a nationwide shutdown, officials clarified that services were disrupted but not entirely halted. The attack comes amid heightened regional tensions and a history of cyberattacks targeting Iran’s infrastructure. Investigations are ongoing to restore full functionality and determine the extent of the damage and data breaches, if any.
