Iran denies reports on cyber attack on oil ministry websites
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, June 22, IRNA -- Head of the Communications and Information Technology of Iranian Oil Ministry Ahmad Tavalaei denied Saturday reports on any cyber attacks targeting the ministry's websites.
No attack has been made against the ministry's websites and all reports to this end were 'sheer lie,'' Tavalaei stressed.
He underlined that websites of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC) and the Ministry of Petroleum (MoP) were 'temporarily out of service due to the minor problems caused in optical fiber of communications network.'
Iran oil ministry websites enjoyed high security levels and would face no problem even if they were under any possible attacks, Tavalaei added.
He said releasing such baseless reports would disturb the public opinion.
