Iran’s crypto exchange agency Nobitex hacked

A pro-Israeli hacking group announced on Wednesday, June 18, that it had hacked Iran’s crypto exchange agency Nobitex.

The group, identified as Godjenshke Darande, or “Predatory Sparrow,” claimed the attack. The breach of Nobtex is the group’s second attack in two days. On June 17, the hackers claimed to have destroyed the data



stored at Iran’s national bank, Bank Sepah amid the increasing hostilities and missile attacks between Israel and Iran.
