Tuesday 24 April 2012Iran's Oil Ministry forms cyber crisis center
Ynetnews -- The Iranian Oil Ministry has formed a crisis center to deal with the recent cyber attack on the country's oil export facilities, Ynet learned Tuesday. Hamdollah Mohammad Nejad, head of the Oil Ministry's Passive Defense Office, said that the ministry's IT experts were working on the problem. According to Iranian media, over 50 of Tehran's top technical experts have been ordered to report to the ministry and assist in the "cyber battle." The cyber attack, which has been ongoing throughout April, peaked on Sunday, when it took down several key computer systems in the Oil Ministry and corrupted the data stored on them in its entirety. A virus was first detected inside the control systems of Kharg Island, which handles the vast majority of Iran's crude oil exports. An Oil Ministry official said that it was still unclear whether the origin of the attack was external or internal. A ministry official told ISNA that "All of the information is secure – everything is backed up." |
