All fuel stations in Iran were reportedly working this morning, a day after a suspected cyberattack took 70% of them offline.
Jafar Salari Nesab, the CEO of National Iranian Oil Products Distribution Company, tells Iran’s semi-official news agency ISNA that all the gas stations are working, but some still had issues with the payment system and only 60% are currently able to accept fuel cards.
He says he hoped all the issues would be solved by the end of the day.
An Israeli-linked group known as “Gonjeshke Darande,” or “predatory sparrow,” claimed the attack, saying it had disabled “a majority of the gas pumps throughout Iran.”
The group claimed to have gained access to the payment systems of the impacted gas stations, as well as each station’s central server and management system.
