Iran’s biggest crypto exchange, Nobitex, just got looted. Over $81 million vanished from its wallets, and now a pro-Israel hacker group says they did it.
Suspicious Wallets and Vanity Tricks
The attack targeted Nobitex’s hot wallets. That’s the part of the system connected to the internet. Hackers used “vanity addresses” to look cool while robbing wallets.
The first wallet had the wild name “TKFuckiRGCTerroristsNoBiTEXy2r7mNX.” Classy, right?
That single address swiped $49 million. The rest came through another fancy address with a bunch of “f” and “Dead” in it.
Nobitex Reacts Fast
Nobitex admitted the breach. They froze the hot wallets right away and said users’ main funds in cold storage are safe.
They promised to cover all losses using their insurance fund and company money.
$2.1B Gone in 2025 Alone
Hacks like this are becoming a nasty trend. Over $2.1 billion has already been stolen in crypto this year.
Wallet problems, sloppy security, and scams are doing the damage.
One expert said the Nobitex hack was likely due to poor access controls—think bad passwords or broken security settings.
Who Did It?
A group called “Gonjeshke Darande” is taking credit. They’re pro-Israel and pretty loud about it.
They posted online saying Nobitex helps Iran dodge sanctions and fund terrorism. They also warned they’ll release more files and source code.
Oh, and they say working at Nobitex is like doing military service for Iran. Yikes.
Bigger Conflict in the Background
This hack isn’t just about money. It comes during violent clashes between Iran and Israel.
Just days ago, Israel bombed Iranian sites, and Iran hit back. Over 200 people have died in the conflict.
Now it seems the war’s gone digital too.
