It framed the attack as part of a broader campaign against Iran’s regional influence and its military proxies, including Hezbollah and the Houthis. The hackers also emphasized that they aim to avoid civilian harm in their operations. This breach follows closely on the heels of another cyberattack targeting Sepah Bank, a financial institution linked to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which disrupted the bank’s online services earlier this week.
