The attack took place on 18 June 2025 with Nobatex First violation reporting Est at 2:24 pm on X.
“This morning, June 19, our technical team discovered signs of unauthorized access to our reporting infrastructure and a part of the hot wallet,” written in the post of Nobitex.
“After immediate detection, all access was suspended and our internal security teams are closely investigating the boundary of the incident.”
Soon after, hunter sparrow Claimed responsibility Promising to publish the source code and internal information of the company stolen during the cyber attack, for the attack through its Gonzesh’s Darree X account. Nobitex’s website remains offline since the attack.

Blockchain analysis firm Elliptical report Crypto dried with a wallet of more than $ 90 million and got funnel in a address controlled by hackers.
However, instead of capitalizing on the breech and trying to maintain the stolen crypto, the hacking group sent almost all the crypto to the vanity address, which is the cryptographic wallet addresses, which are Islam-Anti-Islamic Republic Guard Corps (IRGC) messages such as IRGC “f*ckirgterrorrorrorlowerlorerlorerlorerloreritororrorrorrorrorrorrororerrcerrsrs”.
These vanity addresses require a lot of computational power to generate these vanity addresses with usable private keys, and according to the elliptical, the manufacture of such long string names in a pride address is “computically infected”. This means that hackers deliberately burnt crypto so that no one could reach it again.
“Hack also does not seem to be economically inspired,” eggs.
