Tehran (dpa) – Iran’s president has strongly condemned a cyberattack on the payment system in petrol stations across the country.<\/p>\n

\"web\"<\/p>\n

\u00abThe aim of our enemies was to create chaos nationwide to make citizens angry\u00bb with the government, Ebrahim Raisi said in remarks at the Oil Ministry on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Experts promptly neutralized the attack, the president said in the comments broadcast on state television.<\/p>\n

According to the Oil Ministry, the problem had been fixed in many petrol stations and soon the situation would be completely back to normal.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, customers were not able to refuel at petrol stations using a subsidy card. Without the card, the fuel was twice as expensive.<\/p>\n

The disruption caused long queues at petrol stations in the capital Tehran and other cities. Iran initially spoke of a \u00abtechnical defect\u00bb, but later confirmed the cyber attack. Many on social media blamed foreign actors including Israel, which has carried out previous cyberattacks on Iran.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, an Iranian hacker group claimed responsibility for the attack on the petrol stations. It said the action was linked to the 2019 unrest over increased petrol prices and as a protest against the killing and detention of hundreds of protesters.<\/p>\n

The group is also said to have carried out hacking attacks on the national railway network and even the surveillance cameras of the notorious Evin prison in recent months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
