According to Blockchain Analytics, hackers with possible ties to Israel were erased by more than $ 90 million from NobiteEx, the largest Iranian cryptocurrency.
The group that demanded a hack for a hack revealed on Thursday the “complete source code of the company”.
“The assets that remain in Nobex are now completely outdoors,” the Hacker group announced in their telegram account.
The attack is not “financially motivated”
The stolen funds were transferred to addresses bearing reports criticized by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, reported, etc.
The blog said the attack was probably not financially motivated, because the purses in which the hackers poured money into “burning funds effectively to send Nobiteex a political message”.
Hacker Group revealed
A group of hackers, Gonjeshke Darande, who translates into a “predatory sparrow” in Farss, accused Nobexe of helping the Iranian government to avoid western sanctions over the rapidly growing nuclear program of the country. The group also claimed that Nobex had transferred money to militants.
This came after the group said it destroyed data in a cyber attack against the Iranian state bank Sepah on Tuesday.
Elliptic said that the relatives of the Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei were associated with the exchange and that the sanctioned revolutionary guard workers used Nobex.
She shared evidence that the stock exchange had sent and received funds from cryptocurrency wallets dominated by Iranian allies, including Yemen’s Houthis and Hamas, as reported.
Gonjeshke Darande has previously requested responsibility for further cyber attacks at a high level against Iran, including Operation 2021, which stopped the operation of gas stations and 2022 efforts against the steel mill, which, according to the press agency, made a large fire.
Israel denies ties with hackers
The Israeli media has widely said that Gonjeshke Darande is associated with Israel, but the country’s government has never officially recognized the group’s ties.
Last year, American senators Elizabeth Warren and Angus King raised concerns about Iranian use of cryptocurrencies to avoid sanctions, AP said.
