This attack comes days after Israeli airstrikes on Tehran’s nuclear facilities, highlighting the growing role of crypto in global conflicts. The hackers accused Nobitex of helping the Iranian regime bypass sanctions and fund terrorism. Blockchain security companies, such as Chainalysis, confirmed that the stolen funds were not transferred to exchanges or mixers, but were actually burned-they were irrecoverable.
In response, Nobitex said all user funds remain safe in cold storage. The platform added that it emptied hot wallets as a precaution and has enough reserves to cover any losses. Nobitex is under pressure with more than 11 million users as the cyber tensions are on the rise.
