According to a joint statement by the National Cyber ​​Authority and the Capital Market, Insurance and Savings Authority, an investigation has begun into a suspected cyber attack on the Sharbet website and its servers, carried out by hackers, according to the official Kan channel.

The newspaper pointed out that this attack is the third in 3 months, and the second after another similar attack last April, and the Water Authority accused Iran of being behind it.

Last May, the “Washington Post” newspaper said that Israel is most likely behind a cyber attack that was carried out on the ninth of the same month, which caused great damage to the work of the “Shahid Rajai” port in Bandar Abbas, Iran.
