The TRM Labs reported that the suspects from the age of 19 to 28 years, allegedly, received from the Iranian authorities a cryptocurrency through the Nobitex exchange for reconnaissance tasks, which included surveillance of high -ranking officials and military facilities.
Analysts suggest that the data leak that occurred after a hacker attack, including KYC records and internal communications, could contribute to detention, although experts have no direct evidence of the connection.
“There is no public evidence connecting Nobitex data directly with arrests. But the template corresponds to the well -known tactics used by the Israeli divisions of cyber protection and the hacker group that took responsibility for the attack, ”said TRM Labs.
Experts noted that for a crypto industry, the incident emphasizes the vulnerability of the crypto -streak in the context of geopolitical conflicts. The consequences of hacking Nobitex demonstrate that cryptocurrency platforms can become a target not only for financial benefits, but also for intelligence operations.
Earlier, the largest cryptocurrency exchange of Iran Nobitex announced a phased resumption of work after a hacker attack by $ 90 million.
