Iranian cryptocurrency exchange Nobitex has been hacked! A large outflow of funds has been detected on-chain, with a total amount reaching 81.7 million USD.
The latest official response indicated that the technical team discovered signs of unauthorized access to some reported infrastructure and hot wallets. All related access permissions have been urgently suspended, and the internal security team is rapidly investigating the scope of the incident.
The official emphasized that user assets are stored according to cold storage standards, and security is not an issue; only a portion of the funds in hot wallets were affected. The platform promises to take full responsibility for this incident!
Additionally, on-chain detective ZachXBT revealed that Nobitex experienced a large outflow of funds on the Tron blockchain, with a total amount reaching 81.7 million USD. The incident is still under further investigation, and relevant users are advised to closely monitor the platform’s subsequent announcements～
SlowMist founder Yu Sen stated that the pro-Israel hacker organization "Gonjeshke Darande" (Predatory Sparrow) has political motives for attacking the Iranian crypto platform Nobitex, greater than the actual theft of over 83 million USD in assets. Currently, a large amount of the stolen funds remains stagnant and has not been transferred further. According to on-chain detective ZachXBT, the hackers used customized addresses (vanity addresses) during the attack, with all four addresses used for the attack being "fancy numbers."
Given the frequency of such incidents in the crypto space, everyone should be more vigilant when choosing platforms and opt for reliable trading platforms, such as Binance #Binance 😀!!!
