A hacker group allegedly linked to Israel carried out a cyberattack on Iran's cryptocurrency exchange, Nobitex.
According to The Times of Israel, the hacker group "Gonjeshke Darande" issued a statement on its X social media account, claiming to have carried out a cyberattack on Nobitex.
"In 24 hours, we will release Nobitex's source code and internal information from their internal network," the group said in a statement.
