Israeli-Linked Hacker Group Disrupts 70% of Iranian Petrol Stations

Predatory Sparrow claims responsibility for the cyber-attack, stating it was a response to Iran's regional 'aggression'.

An Israeli-linked hacker group, Predatory Sparrow, has claimed responsibility for a major cyber-attack on Iranian petrol stations, knocking 70% of them offline.
The group stated that the attack was a response to 'aggression' by the Islamic Republic and its proxies in the region, and was carried out in a controlled manner to avoid potential damage to emergency services.
Iran's civil defence agency, responsible for cybersecurity, is considering all possible causes for the disruption, including outside interference.
The attack comes two years after a similar incident in 2021 when Predatory Sparrow claimed to have knocked out Iran’s fuel services.
The group has previously claimed responsibility for cyber attacks on the Iranian railway system, as well as the state-owned Khuzestan Steel Company.
