Last week fuel stations across Iran was brought to a halt when a cyberattack targeted the petrol systems, which affected fuel pumps across the country and causing huge vehicle backlogs.
Videos on social media showed long waits for fuel and street signs that appeared to have been hacked, showing message "Khamenei where is our gasoline?" as the attack last for a very long number of hours.

"Khamenei where is our gasoline?"
The attack happened close to the anniversary of the fuel price hike in November 2 years ago which led to widespread street protests which of course where violently put down by the Iranian Government and IRGC.
A group called "Predatory Sparrow" took responsibility for the attack with a statement that said "the hack was a response to the cyber actions by Tehran's terrorist regime against the people in the region and around the world"
The Iran government responded as usual by blaming Israel and now another mysterious group called "Black Shadow" has now hacked into Israel internet provider Cyberserve, and have started to leak sensitive patient data of over 300k people, as well as leaking data of users of the LGBT dating site Atraf.
Will we ever know who caused the fuel cyberattack? Maybe not but the one thing that is clear to me is that the regime cannot keep its own people safe even at home. Is this another sign the Iranian state is losing its hold on security? Let me know in the comments friends 🙏
