Iran Blocks Major Israeli Cyber Assaults on Banking, Vital Infrastructure Networks

ISTANBUL, June 21 — Iran’s Cyber Security Command announced that since the onset of Israeli cyberattacks amid the conflict, multiple attempts to disrupt critical infrastructure, including the banking network, have been largely thwarted, Anadolu Ajansi (AA) reported, citing Iranian Mehr News Agency on Friday. 

Key achievements highlighted, according to a statement by the Command, include repelling major distributed denial-of-service attacks, limiting hacker groups’ access to sabotage systems and steal data, causing a partial collapse of Israel’s Command and control (C4I) structures near military operations and disrupting Israeli data collection mechanisms used for targeted attacks.

Additionally, efforts prevented the exploitation of mobile phone malware by hostile actors, it added.
