Large hack with Iranian crypto-exchange nobitex: $ 82 million disappeared

The largest crypto fair in Iran, Nobitex, is recently met Due to a large -scale cyber attack in which nearly $ 82 million in digital currency was captured. The attack was claimed by Gonjeshke Darande, an activist hackers group that is probably linked to Israel.

The group, which was previously held responsible for cyber attacks on Iranian infrastructure, claimed the attack on the social platform X. There they stated that Nobitex was their next target after the State Bank Bank Sepah. They threaten to make the source code and internal details of the stock market public within 24 hours. According to them, all the funds that are still on Nobitex are in serious danger.

The Hackers group calls Nobitex an essential part of what they call the “terror network of the Iranian regime”. They accuse the platform of it to circumvent international sanctions and make money flows possible for terrorist purposes through cryptotransactions.

On-Chain Analyst Zachxbt signaled previously suspicious transactions with, among other things Bitcoin, dogecoin in TRXwho jointly represented a value of more than 81.7 million dollars. The crypto was transferred to addresses with provocative names, such as “Tkfuckirgcterroristnobitexy2r7mnx”.

The exact way in which the attack was carried out is not yet known. Nobitex confirmed in a message on X that there was an attack, but has not yet shared any details about the extent of the damage or the exact amount that has been stolen.

The attack on Nobitex takes place against the background of increasing tensions between Iran and Israel, whereby physical and digital attacks also follow each other rapidly. Gonjeshke Darande has long been associated with cyber attacks on Iranian steel factories and gas stations.

If the threat of leaking source code becomes reality, Nobitex is not only for a financial loss, but also for a possible crisis among users. Users who have not yet removed their crypto from the platform risk losing their complete assets according to the Hackers group.
