An anti-Iranian hacking group, Gonjeshke Darande (“Predatory Sparrow”), potentially linked to Israel, claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on a major Iranian cryptocurrency exchange. The group alleges they destroyed roughly $90 million worth of assets and threatened to release the platform’s source code. This attack follows another claimed by the same group just a day prior, targeting Iran’s state-owned Bank Sepah, where they claim to have destroyed data. These actions occur amidst escalating tensions and missile exchanges between Israel and Iran, suggesting a possible connection between the cyberattacks and the broader geopolitical conflict. The hacking group’s activities highlight the growing use of cyber warfare as a tool in the ongoing conflict.
