Iran rejected media reports that it is behind a wave of online attacks against U.S. banks, saying it disapproves of offensives against financial bodies.
“Iran respects international law and refrains from targeting other nations’ economic or financial institutions,” Iran’s mission to the United Nations said in a statement issued yesterday, according to a report published on the state-run Press TV news channel’s website. Iran condemns the use of malware that targets service-providing institutions and violates states’ sovereignty, according to the statement.
