Iran’s state-owned banking technology provider says cyberattacks have disrupted card-based banking services at Bank Melli, Bank Saderat and Bank Tejarat, Reuters reports.

This has prompted a temporary suspension of all card-related operations at the three banks to prevent further unauthorised access, the company tells state TV, with cybersecurity teams working to restore normal operations.

The company’s public relations head points out that ATM services, point-of-sale terminals and mobile applications linked to card systems were all affected.
