Iran’s state-owned Informatics Services Corporation (ISC) announced on June 23 that cyberattacks disrupted card-based banking services at the banks of Melli, Saderat and Tejarat.
This prompted a temporary suspension of all card-related operations at the three banks to prevent further unauthorized access, the banking technology provider told state TV, noting that cybersecurity teams are working to restore normal operations.
The company’s public relations head also said that ATM services, point-of-sale terminals and mobile applications linked to card systems were all affected.
Meanwhile, the London-based Persian-language Iran International also reported a serious distribution in service as a result of the same cyberattack in the banks of Pasargad, Mellat, Sepah, Tose’e Ta’avon, and Resalat. The distribution in these five banks may be, however, the result of the temporary suspension implemented by the ISC.
Major banks including Melli, Saderat, Tejarat and the Export Development Bank of Iran have faced disruptions first reported on June 14 after a cyberattack targeting a shared communication infrastructure, Iran’s banking coordination council said at the time. Iranian state media said those took several days to resolve.
The earlier cyberattack did not compromise customer data, according to Iranian officials, who didn’t identify the side responsible.
Iran previously blamed hostile foreign actors, namely Israel, for similar cyberattacks, and in many cases there was evidence of this.
The latest incident came just a day after the United States lifted sanctions on Iranian oil exports for a temporary period as a result of “encouraging” talks with the Islamic Republic in Switzerland in the framework of the memorandum of understanding signed earlier in the month.
It is more than likely that the cyberattack was orchestrated by Israel in response to this progress in the American-Iranian talks. While Israel has not outright rejected the deal, many of its senior officials made it clear that they were not fully pleased with it.
