Gas stations across Iran were allegedly targeted by a massive cyberattack on Tuesday, according to reports. The incident resulted in widespread disruptions in gasoline sales and many motorists being stuck in long lines at closed stations.

The “attack” has only interfered with smart card sales, a system that is widely used in the country and allows citizens to buy gasoline at a reduced price.
