Iranian cryptocurrency exchange attacked, nearly 100 million dollars in assets stolen

Reportedly, a hacker group linked to Israel, Gonjeshke Darande, claimed responsibility for the attack on Iran's Nobitex cryptocurrency exchange yesterday and announced on social media platform X that they have exposed the core source code information of the platform. The organization wrote: "The assets left in Nobitex are now completely exposed." Their social media posts included screenshots of key code used for exchange deployment, privacy protection, user interface, and other critical information that could pose further security threats to the exchange. Earlier on Wednesday, Nobitex was attacked by hackers. On-chain detective ZachXBT reported that the exchange experienced suspicious fund outflows from wallets on the Tron and EVM networks. Nobitex stated in its latest announcement that over 100 million dollars in cryptocurrency was stolen and subsequently transferred and destroyed by the attackers. $USDC
