Israel-linked hackers claim cyberattack that hit 70% of Iran’s gas stations
A hacking group, Gonjeshke Darande, claimed responsibility for a cyberattack that disrupted 70% of gas stations in Iran, causing long lines and angry crowds.
Iran's civil defense agency is investigating the attack, and the possibility of outside interference is being considered. Israel, widely reported to have links with the hacker group, has not commented on the incident.
Iranian Oil Minister Javad Owji confirmed the disruption, stating that at least 30% of gas stations were working to resolve the issue. The attack is not linked to a fuel shortage or plans to increase fuel prices.
