Thousands of credit card readers across Israeli gas stations and supermarket
chains malfunctioned on Sunday morning in what the company responsible for the
readers' cyber safety called a suspected DDoS attack. 



Hyp Credit Guard told Israeli media outlets on Sunday that it had ruled out
fears of a larger-scale cyberattack, adding that a suspected denial-of-service
attack on communication suppliers is the likely cause of the malfunctioning
across Israeli stores.



The company had since reported that the attack was over following an hour-long
crash.

"In the last hour, we experienced a DDoS attack on some of the company's
services and the communication providers connected to us," Credit Guard said in
a statement.



"At this point, the attack was blocked, and the service returned to normal
operation. We are coordinating with all security agencies to ensure continued
normal operation."

IRANIAN CYBERATTACKS ON ISRAELI CIVILIAN SYSTEMS CONTINUES

This suspected cyberattack follows previous attempts made by Iran to penetrate
Israeli cyber defenses. In October, a similar attack targeted the national
credit-based payment system.



The attack on the system, operated by Sheba (Automated Bank Services), caused
delays in approving debit card payments. However, Sheba reported that its core
role in the national payment system remained intact, preventing widespread
market impact.
