Four major Iranian banks have been targeted in a cyberattack, according to the country’s Banking Coordination Council. The affected institutions include Bank Melli, Bank Tejarat, Bank Saderat, and the Export Development Bank of Iran. The attack focused on the shared communication infrastructure used by these banks, temporarily disrupting some banking services.
Authorities reported that immediate protective measures were taken following the incident. The council confirmed that hackers did not gain access to customer information and no data was deleted. Efforts are currently underway to fully restore normal operations.
The report, citing Al Jazeera, did not specify the origin of the attack or the extent of the disruption beyond temporary service impacts.
