๐ฅ Iran-Israel Conflict Escalates with Cyberattacks ๐ฅ | Iranian Crypto Exchange Nobitex Hacked for $81M ๐ธ๐งโ๐ป
Iranian cryptocurrency exchange Nobitex has reportedly been exploited for over $81 million across Tron and EVM-compatible chains, according to onchain analyst ZachXBT. The exploit was first identified with $48.65 million in suspicious outflows on Tron, later revised as further activity was found on other networks.
Nobitex confirmed unauthorized access to part of its infrastructure and hot wallet, assuring users that all losses will be fully compensated through its insurance fund and internal resources.
Following ZachXBTโs findings, pro-Israel hacker group Gonjeshke Darande claimed responsibility for the attack, stating:
> "These cyberattacks are the result of Nobitex being a key regime tool for financing terrorism and violating sanctions." ๐ป๐ฏ
โWhatโs Next?
Will the cyber and geopolitical conflict between Iran and Israel spiral further out of control, or is there hope for diplomacy and de-escalation in the near future? ๐๏ธโ๏ธ
