Cyber attack on Iran's main exchange: $90M in crypto burned as a political message

It was not a theft.

It was a deliberate act.

The group Predatory Sparrow hacked Nobitex, Iran's largest exchange, transferred over 90 million dollars in crypto, and publicly destroyed them by sending them to custom addresses with anti-regime messages.

Among the phrases engraved in the wallets:

> "FuckIRGCterrorists"

Additionally, they leaked the source code of the platform and targeted Bank Sepah, accusing it of funding activities of the IRGC (Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps).

⚠️ The attack was political, not economic.

It coincides with a tense context between Israel and Iran following recent offensives.

👉 The Central Bank of Iran imposed new restrictions: crypto trading will only be allowed between 10 AM and 8 PM.
