DUBAI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES - The website of Iran's transport ministry was taken down on Saturday by what state television said was a "cyber disruption," a day after an apparent cyberattack on the state railway company.
Computer systems of the staff of the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development were the subject of the attack which resulted in the ministry's portal and sub-portal sites becoming unavailable, the TV channel reported. It didn't give any indication of who it believed could have been behind the attack and did not say if any ransom demand had been made. Train services had been disrupted on Friday, with hackers posting fake delay notices on station boards, state-affiliated news outlets reported. The government-run railway company said only the displays had been affected and that trains ran normally.Palestinians gather at the site of an Israeli strike on a camp for internally displaced people in Rafah on May 27, 2024.
