Iran’s Energy Ministry ruled out the possibility of a cyber-strike on the data monitoring, collecting and analyzing systems of the country's dams where a series of technical glitches were reported in the last few days.
“The system is offline for security issues and has nothing to do with cyberattacks,” Etezad Moqimi, the head of the Energy Ministry's Crisis Management Department, was quoted as saying by ISNA.
As per the ministry’s new directive, people outside the system responsible for collecting information and computing figures related to dams are not allowed to have access to the data anymore.
