IRANIAN CEX HACK MOTIVATED BY MORE THAN MONEY

Summary from the TLDR Crypto newsletter

Crypto's largest Iranian exchange, Nobitex, was breached on June 18, with attackers siphoning off between $48.65 million and $82 million across Tron, Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and other chains. The hacker group “Gonjeshke Darande” claimed responsibility and sent the funds to vanity addresses emblazoned with anti-IRGC messages, thereby permanently burning the assets. This deliberate destruction of value and public political messaging recast the incident as cyber terrorism rather than a profit-driven crime.
