Suspected Israeli hacking group 'Predatory Sparrow' allegedly erased all data from Iran's state-owned Bank Sepah, revealing the fragility of traditional finance. This cyberattack obliterated customer records, underscoring the risks of centralized banking systems.
But it gets worse.
Not just a bank, Over $90 million was drained from Nobitex, a crypto exchange with 6M+ users. But instead of laundering it, the hackers sent the funds to vanity burner ! The money is now permanently inaccessible.
