The hackers behind the $100 million exploit of Iran’s cryptocurrency exchange have released the full source code for the platform, putting the rest of their user assets at risk.
Nobitex Exchange was hacked with at least $100 million in cryptocurrency on Wednesday. The Israeli parent group was called “Gonjeshke Darande” and claimed responsibility for the attack.
In the latest event, the group said it was good based on the previous threat of leaking the exchange’s code and internal files.
“The complete source code linked below Time -Up -Up -The assets remaining in Nobitex are fully public,” Gonjeshke Darande wrote in X post Thursday.
The X-thread details Exchange’s key security metering, including privacy settings, blockchain cold scripts, a list of servers, and a ZIP file containing the complete source code for Nobitex Exchange.
The source code was leaked the day after the group was responsible for the exploit, and promised to release the Exchange source code and internal files within 24 hours.

Hackers argued that they targeted the exchange because of their relationship with the Iranian government and their role in fundraising activities that violated international sanctions.
However, the address of the wallet used for the exploit suggests it is “a political statement rather than a typical financially motivated theft,” Yehor Rudytsia, a security researcher at blockchain security firm Hacken, told Cointelegraph.
“In EVM, more than 20 token assets have been sent to the Clean Burner address. If USDT reissues $55 million worth of stolen stubcoins, there could be only a potential partial recovery,” he said.

Nobitex said Thursday that it had not incurred any additional financial losses and it hopes to begin restoring services within five days. However, the exchange pointed out that internet disruption caused by the ongoing national crisis has slowed progress.
The hack occurred on the fifth day of a new conflict between Israel and Iran.
The two countries have traded strategic missile strikes since June 13, when Israel launched multiple strikes on targets within Iran, marking the biggest attack on the country since the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s.
Gonjeshke Darande confirms $90 million in assets burn
Hackers have confirmed that most of the stolen funds have been burned or have been permanently removed from the circulation.
“Eight burn addresses burned $900 million from the wallet of the administration’s favorite sanctions violation tool, Novitex,” Gongeschke Dalande said in the X-Post.
Nobitex users are waiting for a public video statement from CEO Amir Rad, who is expected to outline the platform recovery and next steps.
In response to the hack, the Iranian Central Bank reportedly imposed a curfew on domestic crypto exchanges, limiting business hours from 10am to 8pm, according to multiple reports cited by Chain Orisis.
