US EditionPro-Israel Hacktivist Group Claims Responsibility for Alleged Iranian Bank Hack
- On Tuesday, the hacktivist collective known as Predatory Sparrow, which supports Israel, announced that it had breached and erased all data from Iran's Bank Sepah.
- The attack followed accusations that Bank Sepah and the Nobitex exchange were central to Iran's regime efforts to finance terrorism and evade sanctions.
- Predatory Sparrow also targeted the Nobitex cryptocurrency exchange, leading to unauthorized access to some hot wallets and suspension by Nobitex.
- Blockchain analysis revealed over $90 million in Nobitex holdings was destroyed or stolen, with funds moved to addresses referencing 'FuckIRGCterrorists,' indicating political sabotage.
- The cyberattacks disrupted Iranian banking services, forced some Bank Sepah branches to close, and signal an ongoing effort to weaken Iran's financial infrastructure amid regional tensions.
