Iranian banks targeted in cyber attacks amid peace talks

Iranian banks were hit by a cyber attack that disrupted ATMs, terminals and mobile apps linked to card systems.

The cyber attack occurred days after Donald Trump mentioned that frozen funds would be returned to the Islamic Republic.

Customers experienced service interruptions, prompting banks to suspend card operations to prevent unauthorized access.

Major financial institutions, including Melli, Saderat, Tejarat and the Export Development Bank of Iran, were among those affected.

The disruptions were initially reported on June 14 and took several days to resolve, according to Iranian state media.
