Hacked Iranian crypto exchange Nobitex has begun the process of restoring services after it was attacked by pro-Israel hacker group Gonjeshke Darande earlier this month.
Nobitex, Iran's crypto giant, is crawling back online after a brutal hack by pro-Israel cyber warriors. Only verified users can withdraw—spot traders first in line. Old wallet addresses? Forget 'em. Deposit there, and kiss your crypto goodbye.
The exchange dropped the news on X, hinting at a June 30 comeback for withdrawals. Trading and deposits? They're playing it by ear. No dates, just vibes.
This wasn't just a hack—it was a message. Gonjeshke Darande, the attackers, torched $90M in assets and leaked Nobitex's source code. Why? Alleged ties to Iran's gov and shady actors. Chainalysis data backs this up, showing Nobitex's $11B inflows dwarfing others.
Iran's response? A crypto curfew. Exchanges now operate 10 AM to 8 PM only. Talk about a lockdown.
State-sponsored hacks: 2025's hottest trend
North Korea's racking up wins, with Bybit's $1.5B heist making headlines. They're even using ChatGPT to up their game. Meanwhile, South Korea's left scratching its head.
- • Nobitex hack: $100M gone, source code leaked.
- • Iran imposes crypto exchange curfews.
- • North Korea's hacks account for 70% of 2025's crypto losses.
