Iran's oil ministry has come under a "cyber attack," with its website and affiliated sites appearing to be offline, Iranian media reported on Monday.

 

The Mehr news agency reported that the websites, including that of the National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), were targeted from Sunday. An oil ministry spokesman Alireza Nikzad told the Fars news agency the attack was a "virus" which "attempted to delete data on oil ministry servers." (AFP)
