A cyberattack disrupted services at four major Iranian banks, but no customer data was compromised, Iran’s Banking Coordination Council said on Sunday, according to state media.
The council said the attack targeted a shared communications infrastructure used by Bank Melli, Bank Tejarat, Bank Saderat and the Export Development Bank of Iran. In response, technical teams implemented protective measures, temporarily affecting some banking services.
According to the council, there was no unauthorized access to customer information and no data was deleted. Efforts to restore normal operations are ongoing.
