Suspected DDoS Attack Affects Credit Card Readers in Israel

/ 1 min read

Suspected DDoS attack disrupts credit card readers in Israel. Thousands of credit card readers at gas stations and supermarkets in Israel malfunctioned due to a suspected denial-of-service attack, according to Hyp Credit Guard. The company reported that the attack lasted about an hour and has since been resolved, with services returning to normal. This incident follows previous Iranian cyberattacks aimed at Israeli systems, including a similar attack on the national credit payment system in October, which caused delays but did not significantly impact operations.
