Analysis: Pro-Israel hackers transferred stolen Nobitex funds to black holes, a move that was purely political ridicule and not for profit
According to online reports, according to a report released by online data analysis agency Elliptic, the attack on Iranian crypto trading platform Nobitex is obviously related to the recent escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran. Most of the funds stolen by the pro-Israel hacker group "Gonjeshke Darande" are currently stored at "spam addresses", and their public keys all contain variants of "F*ckIRGCterrorists"(cursing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps content). Elliptic said the attack did not appear to be for profit. The addresses used by hackers are generated through "brute force"-requiring massive calculations to obtain key pairs containing specific long text, which means that the "predator" cannot actually control the private keys of these addresses. This "fund destruction" is clearly intended to send a political signal to Nobitex. Cosine, the founder of Slow Fog, also confirmed the information, saying that the stolen cryptocurrency worth more than US$80 million from Nobitex was directly transferred to an address with a high probability of being a black hole, that is, directly destroyed.
