US cyberattack on rocket launchers failed attempt: Iran

Tehran: The recent US cyberattack against Iranian missile control systems failed to cause any problems for Tehran, a Minister said in a tweet on Monday. “They (the American) try hard, but they haven’t yet carried out a successful attack,” Iran’s Minister of Information and Communications Technology Mohammad Javad Azari Jahromi tweeted. According to media reports on Saturday, the Pentagon launched a cyberattack on Iranian rocket launch systems which disabled the military machinery, reports Xinhua news agency.

On Monday, the Iranian minister decried American cyberattacks on Iran over the past years, saying that “we have been facing cyber-terrorism for a long time”. “Last year, we neutralized 33 million attacks with the (national) firewall,” Jahromi added. The attack came following Iran’s downing of a US drone on June 20. Tehran said the drone had entered Iranian airspace, a claim which Washington has denied. (IANS)
