BTCCSquare news:
Israeli authorities arrested three individuals on June 24 for alleged espionage tied to Iran, with suspicions deepening after a $90 million cryptocurrency theft from Iran's Nobitex exchange. TRM Labs reports suggest an Israeli-linked group, Gonjeshke Darande, leaked wallet data, potentially aiding the arrests. The timing—just six days after the June 18 attack—hints at a covert connection.
Cryptocurrencies are now central to state-sponsored espionage, with suspects like Dmitri Cohen reportedly paid $500 per assignment in crypto for surveillance and propaganda. The case underscores how digital assets bypass traditional banking, enabling clandestine cross-border transactions.
