A spying party opposed to the Iranian government with potential connections to Israel and a history of damaging attacks on Iran claimed in social media posts on Tuesday that it had destroyed information at Iran’s state-owned Bank Sepah. One of the information posted online claimed that the group, known as Gonjeshke Darande, or” Predatory Sparrow,” hacked the lender because they believed it to be helping to fund Iran’s defense. On Tuesday, the company’s website was online. According to Jewish advertising, customers were having trouble accessing their accounts. In a post on X, Rob Joyce, the former top cybersecurity official at the NSA, wrote that “disrupting the availability of this company’s money, or triggering a broader decline of faith in Iranian businesses, could have significant effects there.” Israeli press has frequently reported Gonjeshke Darande as” Israel-linked,” but the Israeli media has long reported that it is “linked” to Israel.
