Pro-Israel Group Claims Cyberattack On Iran’s Largest Cryptocurrency Exchange
The post Pro-Israel Group Claims Cyberattack On Iran’s Largest Cryptocurrency Exchange appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. More than $73 million was stolen on Nobitex through vanity wallet addresses on Tron and EVM chains. A pro-Israel hacker group took responsibility and threatened to publish the source code of Nobitex. Nobitex claimed that cold wallets are secure and that it would reimburse the users out of its insurance fund. Nobitex, a crypto exchange based in Iran, has been severely breached, resulting in the loss of nearly 73 million dollars in crypto assets. First reported by blockchain sleuth ZachXBT, the attack was directed at wallets over both Ethereum-compatible and Tron blockchains using custom wallet addresses called “vanity addresses.” ZachXBT found the suspect transfers, tracing them to the addresses named as “TKFuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXy2r7mNX” and “0xffFFfFFffFFffFfFffFFfFfFfFFFFfFfFFFFDead,” that sent around $49 million into unknown wallets on Tron. Onchain analysis shows the total effect may exceed $73 million, but Nobitex itself has not reported the extent of the loss. The attacker wallet, KFucki, followed a conventionally identifiable naming pattern to taunt the target and carry out quick transfers. Nobitex noted that it had received unauthorized access to a portion of its hot wallets, which they reportedly froze promptly. It promised the users that the cold storage funds would not be accessed, and losses would be paid with insurance reserves and company funds. Hackers Promise Source Code Leak Within Hours In a post on X, a hacker group calling itself “Gonjeshke Darande” claimed responsibility. The group that has previously targeted Iranian industrial sites described Nobitex as a central node in Tehran’s financial network. It claimed that the interchange contributes to the evasion of sanctions and funding of malevolent activities. After the IRGC’s “Bank Sepah” comes the turn of NobitexWARNING! In 24 hours, we will release Nobitex’s source code and internal information from their internal network.Any assets that remain there after that point will be at…
