A cyberattack temporarily disrupted services at four major Iranian banks, but officials said customer data was not compromised.
Iran’s banking coordination council said on Sunday that the attack targeted a shared communications infrastructure used by Bank Melli, Bank Tejarat, Bank Saderat, and the Export Development Bank of Iran.
The council said technical teams quickly activated protective measures after detecting the attack. As a result, some banking services were temporarily affected while recovery work continued.
Officials said there was no unauthorized access to customer information and no data had been deleted.
The council added that efforts were underway to fully restore normal banking operations.
