The two high-profile hacks came at a time of heightened hostility between Iran and Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nobitex, which has processed over $11 billion in total inflows compared to $7.5 billion for the next ten largest Iranian exchanges combined, issued a statement assuring users their funds were safe. The exchange has moved large amounts of Bitcoin to new cold storage wallets to enhance security, Chainalysis notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new restrictions are likely part of Iranian authorities\u2019 efforts to increase oversight of crypto trading activities. Nobitex serves as a key gateway connecting Iran\u2019s sanctioned financial system to global crypto markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A number of illicit actors have previously been linked to Nobitex, including IRGC-affiliated ransomware operators and Houthi and Hamas-affiliated networks identified by Israel\u2019s National Bureau for Counter-Terror Financing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The platform has also facilitated transactions with sanctioned entities, including Gaza Now, a pro-al-Qaeda propaganda channel, and the Russian crypto exchanges Garantex and Bitpapa.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just days before, Bank Sepah, one of Iran\u2019s major state banks, was also targeted by the same pro-Israel hacking group.
