Sepah Bank

Sepah Bank, a key financial institution in Iran, faced a major cyberattack that disrupted ATMs and fuel networks. The attack, claimed by the pro-Israel hacker group Predatory Sparrow, caused significant disruption to banking services and fuel distribution. The hackers alleged that the bank funds Iran's nuclear program and erased important data. The attack has caused panic among residents and led to a directive prohibiting senior officials from using social media on their devices.
