Reports indicate that the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) was targeted in a cyberattack, alongside several other banks in the country, leading to chaos within Iran’s financial system.
Sources suggest that this cyberattack could be one of the most significant to hit Iran’s state infrastructure, with hackers reportedly gaining access to account holder information.
Notes found on ATM machines suggest that funds may be unavailable due to the government’s allocation towards the conflict with the Islamic Republic’s regime.
The alleged cyberattack coincides with escalating tensions following threats of retaliation by Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, over the death of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Additionally, there are concerns about potential Iranian hacker involvement in influencing upcoming US elections.
