BREAKING: Gas stations across the Islamic Republic have been targeted in a cyberattack that’s stopped fueling, according to Iranian state television.

While ISNA didn’t acknowledge the number’s significance, that number is associated to a hotline run through Khamenei’s office that handles questions about Islamic law. ISNA later removed its reports, claiming that it too had been hacked. Such claims of hacking can come quickly when Iranian outlets publish news that angers the theocracy.

Farsi-language satellite channels abroad published videos apparently shot by drivers in Isfahan, a major Iranian city, showing electronic billboards there reading: “Khamenei! Where is our gas?” Another said: “Free gas in Jamaran gas station,” a reference to the home of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

. Israeli cybersecurity firm Check Point later attributed the train attack to a group of hackers that called themselves Indra, after the Hindu god of war. Indra previously targeted firms in Syria, where President Bashar Assad has held onto power through Iran’s intervention in his country’s grinding war.

The attack also came on the birthday of the late Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who, stricken with cancer, fled the country in 1979 just before the Islamic Revolution.leaked video of abuses its notorious Evin prison in AugustThe country disconnected much of its government infrastructure from the internet after the Stuxnet computer virus — widely believed to be a joint U.S.-Israeli creation — disrupted thousands of Iranian centrifuges in the country’s nuclear sites in the late 2000s.

lookner The only thing from preventing it here {USA} is the fear of military retaliation. Our systems are sadly insecure. The whole software industry is be based on 'just get it to work' security takes a backseat to convenience. It will happen.

Everyone knows Iran is a cybersecurity playground. Imagine the impact of similar cyberattacks on the US. America needs to gear up for a cyberwar. Count me in.
