Crypto Chaos: $90 Million Vanished in Iran-Israel Cyber Showdown!
More than $90 million in Bitcoin, Ether, Dogecoin, and other coins vanished from Iran’s Nobitex exchange as Predatory Sparrow hackers, tied to Israel, struck a blow in the cyber shadow war with Iran. They audaciously siphoned the cryptocurrency, locking it away in inaccessible accounts, evaporating the funds and taunting Iran’s Revolutionary Guard.
Hot Take:
Looks like the Predatory Sparrow decided to play a high-stakes game of finders keepers, except they turned the prize into a flaming pile of nothingness! Iran’s cyber vault cracked open like a piñata, but instead of candy, they got blockchain addresses with a side of digital humiliation. Somewhere, a cyber-sparrow is chirping with glee!
Key Points:
- Hackers from the Predatory Sparrow group drained $90 million in various cryptocurrencies from Iran’s Nobitex exchange.
- Cyberattack linked to Israeli interests, further intensifying Israel-Iran cyber conflicts.
- Stolen digital assets were burned by locking them in inaccessible accounts.
- Chainalysis revealed Nobitex had moved over $11 billion, with government-linked wallets among its clientele.
- US cybersecurity agencies warn of potential backlash and collateral damage from Iranian cyber responses.
