Israel-linked group claims it hacked Iranian bank, destroyed data

A hacking group previously linked to Israel claims to have destroyed data belonging to an Iranian bank under US sanctions.

The group known as “Gonjeshke Darande,” or “predatory sparrow,” says it “conducted cyberattacks which destroyed the data of” Bank Sepah.

“Bank Sepah was an institution that circumvented international sanctions and used the people of Iran’s money to finance the regime’s terrorist proxies, its ballistic missile program and its military nuclear program,” says Gonjeshke Darande in a post on X.
