Is cryptocurrency becoming a political weapon? Iranian exchange suffers a bloodbath!
My goodness! Iran's largest exchange Nobitex has been taken down by the pro-Israel hacker group "Gonjeshke Darande," with 81 million dollars evaporating in an instant! This is not just ordinary theft; it is clearly a digital blitzkrieg using blockchain as the battlefield!
The hackers used a wallet address with the insulting label "Terrorist NoBiTEX" to precisely target hot wallets, making 49 million dollars disappear just like that.
Even more astonishing is that they openly declared: this is a slap in the face to the Iranian regime for using cryptocurrency to evade sanctions! They even threatened to release the source code within 24 hours. This move is simply a political game engraved on the blockchain for all to see.
The exchange, however, remained defiant, claiming that cold wallets are secure and that the insurance fund will cover losses.
But if Tether is a moment too slow, 55 million USDT could easily turn into dead money.
The remaining loot has long been dispersed into destruction addresses; unless global regulators join forces to freeze it, it will disappear forever into the digital black hole.
Who could watch this scene without saying it's surreal?
When cryptocurrency becomes a pawn in geopolitical games, the transparent ledger of blockchain ironically turns into the bloodiest battlefield.
In the future, securing digital assets will not only require protection from hackers but also from political hurricanes!
