Hackers Target Iran's Crypto and Banking Sector

A group known as "Gonjeshke Darande" (predatory sparrow) claims to have stolen $48 million in cryptocurrency from Nobitex, an Iranian crypto exchange. The group alleges Nobitex facilitates the Iranian regime's terror financing and sanctions evasion efforts. They also announced plans to release Nobitex's source code and internal data within 24 hours.

In a related incident, the same group has claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Sepah Bank, an IRGC-controlled institution. This attack reportedly disrupted the bank's online services and impacted gas station operations in Iran. Gonjeshke Darande stated they "destroyed" Sepah Bank's data.

The hacker group, reportedly affiliated with Israel, warned Iranians about the risks of collaborating with "terrorist financing infrastructure."
