Israel says Iran, Hezbollah attempted to hack Safed hospital


ISRAEL-LINKED GROUP CLAIMS CYBERATTACK THAT SHUT DOWN 70% OF IRAN’S GAS STATIONS


TEHRAN CITES ‘SOFTWARE PROBLEM’ AS CAUSE FOR SHUTDOWN; GROUP KNOWN AS GONJESHKE
DARANDE TAKES RESPONSIBILITY, SAYS ATTACK IS RESPONSE TO IRANIAN AGGRESSION

across 70 percent of Iran's gas stations was disrupted due to a 'possible
sabotage, state media reported. (ATTA KENARE / AFP)

A hacking group that has previously been linked to Israel claimed on Monday to
have paralyzed gas stations across Iran in a cyberattack.

The group known as “Gonjeshke Darande,” or “predatory sparrow,” said that it had
disabled “a majority of the gas pumps throughout Iran.”

“This cyberattack comes in response to the aggression of the Islamic Republic
and its proxies in the region,” the group said in statements in Persian and
English.




“Khamenei, playing with fire has a price,” the group warned. “This is just a
taste of what we have in store.”

The group claimed to have gained access to the payment systems of the impacted
gas stations, as well as each station’s central server and management system.

Since the start of Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza, which began with a shock
onslaught on October 7 in which Hamas terrorists massacred some 1,200 people in
southern Israel and took around 240 hostages, Iranian-backed groups such as
Hezbollah in Lebanon and the Houthis in Yemen have stepped up attacks against
Israel.

Iranian state media reported that close to 70% of the country’s gas stations
were out of service, citing a “software problem” as the cause and urging people
not to rush to the stations that were still operational.

Iranian state TV quoted a statement from the country’s Oil Ministry that said
that more than 30% of gas stations remain in service. The country has some
33,000 gas stations.

In a second statement published on Telegram, Gonjeshke Darande said, “As in our
previous operations, this cyberattack was conducted in a controlled manner while
taking measures to limit potential damage to emergency services.”

“We delivered warnings to emergency services across the country before the
operation began, and ensured a portion of the gas stations across the country
were left unharmed for the same reason, despite our access and capability to
completely disrupt their operation.”

The group is believed to be linked to the Israeli Military Intelligence
Directorate.

It claimed responsibility for a cyberattack last year that forced the Iranian
state-owned Khuzestan Steel Co. to halt production. A year prior, the group
targeted Iran’s fuel distribution system, paralyzing gas stations across the
country.

Israel generally maintains a policy of ambiguity regarding its operations
against Iran, but Israeli military correspondents, who are regularly briefed
off-the-record by senior Israeli officials, strongly hinted that the Military
Intelligence’s Unit 8200 was responsible for the 2022 cyberattack on the Iranian
steel plant.

The reports prompted then-defense minister Benny Gantz to order an investigation
into media leaks that harmed Israel’s “ambiguity policy.”

In recent years, Iran has seen a series of cyberattacks on its filling
stations, railway system and industries. Surveillance cameras in government
buildings, including prisons, have also been hacked in the past.

The country disconnected much of its government infrastructure from the internet
after the Stuxnet computer virus — widely believed to be a joint US-Israeli
creation — disrupted thousands of Iranian centrifuges in the country’s nuclear
sites in the late 2000s.

Iran, long sanctioned by the West, faces difficulties in getting up-to-date
hardware and software, often relying on Chinese-manufactured electronics or
older systems no longer being patched by manufacturers, making them easier for a
potential hacker to target. Pirated versions of Windows and other software are
common across Iran.

A short while after reports emerged Monday of the Israel-linked cyberattack in
Iran, Israel’s National Cyber directorate said that Iran and Hezbollah were
behind a largely unsuccessful attempt last month to hack the Ziv Medical Center
in Safed.

“In a joint effort by the cyber directorate, the IDF, the Shin Bet, and the
Health Ministry and hospital teams, the attack was stopped before it could
achieve its goal of disrupting the hospital’s operations and harming the medical
care of civilians,” the directorate said in a statement.

“However, it was found that the group stole some sensitive information stored in
the hospital’s systems,” it added.
