Iran Says It Will Take Extraordinary Measures Following Israeli Attack on Cryptocurrency Exchanges – Here’s What It Is

The group announced on X (formerly Twitter) that they had infiltrated Nobitex’s infrastructure and threatened to release the platform’s source code and internal data. The same group had also announced an attack on state-owned Bank Sepah the day before.
