Iran's Bank Sepah reviewing reports of alleged cyberattack on its systems

Jan 20, 2026, 16:19 GMT+0

The IT and cybersecurity teams of Iran's Sepah Bank are currently reviewing the scope and details of the reports that the bank has been hacked, state-run Mehr News Agency reported on Tuesday.

Sepah Bank, which is responsible for processing the payments of military personnel, was earlier targeted by hackers during Israel's June war on Iran.

The pro-Israel hacker group Predatory Sparrow, known for prior cyberattacks on Iran’s fuel infrastructure, claimed responsibility for "paralyzing" Sepah Bank.
