The Israel-supporting hacker group 'Gonjeshke Darande' claimed responsibility for a cyber attack targeting the Iranian cryptocurrency platform 'Nobitex', resulting in the theft of cryptocurrency valued at approximately $48.65 million on the Tron network, according to cybersecurity investigator 'ZachXBT'.
'Nobitex' confirmed that part of its active wallets and infrastructure were breached, noting that client assets stored in cold storage were unaffected.
The platform immediately suspended its activities and pledged to compensate users through its insurance fund and internal reserves.
In a threatening statement published on social media, the hackers accused the platform of being a tool for the Iranian regime to finance terrorism and evade sanctions, threatening to release the source code and internal data within 24 hours.
This attack comes amid escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, with intensified cyber confrontations between the two parties.
Reports from 'TRM Labs' indicate that 'Nobitex' played a pivotal role in facilitating financial flows to sanctioned entities, accounting for over 85% of these flows in 2024 alone in collaboration with Russian platforms such as 'Garantx'.
