FIRST TIME $BTC PERMANENTLY BURNED IN THE NOBITEX HACK
- The hacker group linked to Israel "Predatory Sparrow" has wiped out 95% of the assets on Iran's Nobitex cryptocurrency exchange.
- Nobitex is believed to have been used by Tehran to evade sanctions. The balance dropped from $1.8 billion to just $100 million (along with users withdrawing assets)
👤 The hacker group Predatory Sparrow, associated with Israel, has claimed responsibility, with damages estimated between $48 to over $90 million. This amount was subsequently sent by the hacker group to unrecoverable wallets as a deterrent rather than for appropriation.
