Who Are Gonjeshke Darande? The Hackers Behind Iran’s Largest Crypto Heist
19

Gonjeshke Darande, or 'Predatory Sparrow,' is a sophisticated cyberattack group with suspected ties to Israel. The group recently executed Iran’s largest crypto heist, burning all stolen funds to frame the attack as a political strike against Iran’s sanctions evasion efforts.
Security analysts highlight the group’s focus on Iranian infrastructure and financial systems. Their Farsi name—translating to 'Predatory Sparrow'—mocks Iranian defenses while symbolizing their swift, targeted attacks.
Though Israel hasn’t claimed responsibility, the group’s methods and political messaging align with its cyber warfare tactics. Their operations underscore the growing intersection of geopolitics and cryptocurrency vulnerabilities.
