Tonight, one of the loudest and strangest hacks in the TON network occurred: hackers attacked the largest Iranian crypto exchange Nobitex and withdrew assets to an address that is already a comment in itself:

What is known:
* 💥 $10,000 in TON and $6,000,000 in NOT sent to a non-returnable address.
* 🔥 From a technical point of view, there is no access to this wallet — it is impossible to pick up a private key to such a phrase even in millions of years.
* 🧨 Thus, the tokens are effectively burned and permanently withdrawn from circulation.
Consequences:
* 💀 ~3% of the total NOT supply is destroyed. This event is already called a "decentralized burn".
* 🧾 If the exchange does not go bankrupt, it will have to compensate users for losses, which can lead to a liquidity crisis.
* 📉 Reputational and political consequences: the address indicates the anti-government motivation of the hackers.
Conclusion:
Such an incident is not just a hack. It is a public manifesto committed in the blockchain. And at the same time, it is a rare case when 3% of the meme ecosystem tokens are burned.
Now $NOT has involuntarily become "deflationary". And Nobitex is in very big trouble.
