$90 Million Up in Smoke: Pro-Israel Hackers Torch Stolen Iranian Crypto in Cyber Showdown
$90 Million Up in Smoke: Pro-Israel Hackers Torch Stolen Iranian Crypto in Cyber Showdown
18

Digital vigilantes just turned $90 million of Iran's crypto into ash—no refunds, no apologies.
When geopolitical beef spills into the blockchain, things get spicy. This time, hackers with alleged Israeli ties hit Iran where it hurts: the digital wallet.
The target? A major Iranian exchange. The method? Old-school cyber looting with a crypto twist. The result? A nine-figure bonfire of Tehran's digital assets.
Forget sanctions—this is crypto's new cold war. While politicians argue, hackers code. And when they do, exchanges cough up $90 million in 'voluntary donations.'
Meanwhile, traditional finance still uses SWIFT like it's 1999. Maybe they'll upgrade before the next hack—or maybe they'll just keep writing sternly worded memos.
