A massive cyberattack has targeted Iran’s central bank and other banks in the country – as reported by the London-based anti-regime Iran International three hours ago.

The report says that a widespread disruption occurred in the Iranian banking system and that it “could be one of the largest cyberattacks ever against Iranian infrastructure.”

No other sources have reported on the attack and no official response has been made from Iran.

Iran International also said that Iranian officials has been trying to cover up the attack for several hours, claiming that hackers have obtained bank and credit card details of millions of Iranians.
