"A Suspected Cyberattack Paralyzes The Majority of Gas Stations Across Iran"
On Monday, nearly 70% of Iran’s gas stations went out of service because of a possible cyberattack. An Iranian news report claimed that a “software problem” caused the irregularity in the gas stations. It urged people not to rush to the stations that were still operational. Israeli media, including the Times of Israel, blamed the problem on a cyberattack by a hacker group dubbed “Gonjeshke Darande,” or predatory sparrow. The Oil Ministry in Iran said more than 30% of gas stations remain in service. The country has some 33,000 gas stations.
