Here are the most viral and impactful crypto news as of today which you should know how you can protect your Crypto from hackers and scammers.🚀🤑

🕵️‍♂️ 1. Major Cyber‑Heist Hits Iran’s Nobitex Exchange

A pro‑Israel hacking group known as Predatory Sparrow claimed it stole roughly $90–100 million in Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and other cryptocurrencies from Iran’s largest exchange,

The stolen funds were allegedly sent to “burner” wallets—addresses lacking private keys—ensuring the assets are irrecoverable. Hackers reportedly used anti‑IRGC messages in the wallet names as a political statement  .

In response, Iran imposed heavy internet restrictions and shut down portions of its online infrastructure, labeling it both a counter‑measure and a stability precaution amid ongoing Gaza/Israel tensions  .

Elliptic, a crypto forensics firm, verified the hack, confirming the funds were effectively “destroyed”—meaning the attack was symbolic/political, not financially driven  .

🔍 2. Broader Crypto Security Threats Emerging

Cointelegraph recently warns of a variety of growing threats in crypto, including:

Malware stealthily targeting blockchain professionals via bogus job sites.

A sudden phishing “fake call” scheme that duped a crypto VC partner into losing life savings  .

Other ongoing incidents include:

A massive $1.5 billion Ethereum hack at Bybit in February, potentially tied to the Lazarus Group—a North Korean-linked cybercriminal ring  .

🔐 3. What This Means for Crypto Users

Crypto risks are intensifying as nation-state actors leverage hacking for political messaging and financial destabilization.
