A major cyberattack has targeted the Central Bank of Iran and several other banks, causing widespread disruptions in the country's banking system. Reports suggest this could be one of the largest cyberattacks in Iran's history. The attack has paralyzed the computer systems of these banks, making it difficult for people to withdraw money. Initial assessments indicate that the attack may have originated from an Israeli hacker group, with some reports attributing it to agents called Natan Kod and Mik Oded. The Iranian opposition channel 'Iran International' has been a primary source of information on this incident. The cyberattack occurred on Wednesday.
