On June 19, a hacking group that supports Israel has followed through on its threat to leak the full source code of Iranian crypto exchange Nobitex after admitting to stealing around $100 million from the platform.

The group, known as Gonjeshke Darande, shared the files through a post on X.

They said, "Time is up, full source code linked below. ASSETS LEFT IN NOBITEX ARE NOW ENTIRELY OUT IN THE OPEN".

Along with the code, they also released privacy-related settings, a list of servers, and scripts used to manage blockchain wallets. This information could increase risks for anyone who still has funds on the exchange.

As part of the follow-up, the group claimed it had destroyed most of the stolen funds instead of keeping them. According to a separate X's post, "8 burn addresses burned $90 million from the wallets of the regime’s favorite sanctions violation tool, Nobitex".

Gonjeshke Darande stated that the reason behind the attack was Nobitex’s reported links to the Iranian government and its role in helping the country bypass global sanctions.

On June 19, Nobitex shared on X that no additional losses had occurred since the incident. The exchange also stated that it plans to resume services within five days, although it noted that internet disruptions across the country are slowing down recovery work.

Additionally, Iran's central bank recently announced new operating hours for all local crypto exchanges. What did it say? Read the full story.
