⁉️ Top 1 CEX in Iran got hack - hacker didn't want money?
On June 18 -> 19, 2025, a hacker group took down Iran’s largest crypto exchange, Nobitex - home to over 7 million users - causing estimated losses of $100M. But here’s the shocking part: they burned all the funds.
BTC, ETH, DOGE... all transferred to burn wallets - completely inaccessible forever - with only vanity wallet addresses left behind spelling out: "F*ckIRGCTerroristsNoBiTEX" 🤔
And it didn’t stop there. The hackers went on to leak the entire backend/frontend source code of Nobitex, claiming the platform was laundering money, funding the IRGC, Hamas, Houthis, and helping evade international sanctions 🥶
This wasn’t about profit - it was clearly a politically motivated attack.
