💥 Million-dollar hack at Nobitex in Iran: alarm over security in exchanges

In recent hours, a massive attack against Nobitex, the most important exchange in Iran, has been reported, which would have suffered a hack valued at over 48 million dollars.

The attack was attributed to a group of Iranian hacktivists in exile, some with alleged links to Israeli intelligence agencies. According to reports, the attackers managed to access sensitive databases, wallet addresses, balances, and records of internal transactions.

But it was not just a theft: the hackers deleted part of the information, affecting the operability of the platform and generating panic among users. On social media, several Iranians reported that they could not access their funds or see their balances correctly.

🛡️ Why is it serious?

• Nobitex is the most used exchange in Iran, in a country where international sanctions isolate it from the global financial system.

• This type of hack goes beyond financial crime: it becomes part of the geopolitical conflict, as a form of cyber warfare.

• It demonstrates that exchanges operating in areas with high political tension or scarce regulation are especially vulnerable.

The incident reopens the debate on security in regional crypto platforms, the importance of safeguarding funds in personal wallets, and the increasing risks when technology gets caught in the middle of international disputes.
