My people, this is more than just gossip; it's a serious situation that has us all wide-eyed! 👀 A cryptocurrency exchange in Iran, called Nobitex, just suffered a brutal hack where approximately 100 million dollars in cryptos were taken! Just like that, no anesthesia! 😱
Pro-Israel hackers claim responsibility for the attack and send a message! 🗣️
It turns out that a group of pro-Israel hackers, calling themselves Gonjeshke Darande (or the 'Predator Sparrow', what names they use!), took the blame for the attack. And the craziest part of this story is that they claim the stolen money (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and more!) was sent to 'disposable email addresses' so no one else could use it. As if to say, they burned it! 🔥
According to CNN, the move was not about money, but purely political! The hackers claimed that Nobitex was like the government's petty cash for evading sanctions and funding what they consider 'terrorist' activities. To leave no doubt about their intentions, they left public messages in crypto addresses like 'F*ckIRGCterrorists'. A declaration of war in code! 💥
Nobitex shut down the system and published the code! ⚠️
After the hackers' party, these individuals published all the source code of the Nobitex platform, exposing all the weaknesses and putting the remaining users' money at risk! Nobitex, for its part, got to work and deactivated its website and app, saying that customer funds were safe in an internal reserve system. Hopefully, that's true, because no one could verify that!
A globally impactful attack with crypto in the crosshairs! 🌍💥
This incident not only shocked the crypto community but even caused internet and phone outages throughout Iran! The government was going crazy trying to stop more attacks. Analysts are already saying that this is another escalation in the conflict between Iran and Israel. Can you imagine? The cyberwar is getting intense, and digital infrastructure is the new battlefield.
The heaviest part of all this is that the attack on Nobitex shows us that cryptocurrencies, which were born to be decentralized and free, are now being used as strategic weapons in these cyber wars! The political message from the hackers and the deliberate destruction of assets mark a new era, where even digital finances are targets to weaken countries. So be alert, because the crypto world has become more complicated than ever! 😬$BNB $ETH $SOL
