Nobitex, Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchange, faced a significant hack resulting in over $90 million being stolen by the hacker group Gonjeshke Darande. This group, allegedly linked to Israel, has not only stolen funds but also transmitted them with messages aimed at criticizing Iran's Revolutionary Guard. Unlike previous attacks that focused on financial gain, this incident appears to serve as a political statement amidst rising tensions between Israel and Iran, as described by Lidia López Sanz from Outpost2.
"It is very unusual to see millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency burned with the sole purpose of causing disruption and making a political statement," remarks Lidia López Sanz.
"In this case, Gonjeshke Darande appears to have chosen to not steal the funds for profit, but in order to deliver a stronger message."
