As gas stations around #Iran are out of service today, a photo is circulating showing one station with a message on a small monitor saying "cyber attack 64411." 64411 is the phone number for the Office of Iran's Supreme Leader. pic.twitter.com/rlrVLHjt76

I am somewhat surprised that Iran relies so heavily upon the Internet and computers for their gasoline operations.
Most likely this was some type of Israeli cyberattack considering the impact of the situation. Of course, that’s just an educated guess. They’re certainly the main player in the region who would have the most motivation to do something like this.
