Iran’s state-owned banking technology provider says that cyberattacks disrupted card-based banking services at Bank Melli, Bank Saderat and Bank Tejarat.
This prompted a temporary suspension of all card-related operations at the three banks to prevent further unauthorized access, the company tells state TV, with cybersecurity teams working to restore normal operations.
The company’s public relations head says ATM services, point-of-sale terminals and mobile applications linked to card systems were all affected.
