Analysis: Pro-Israel hackers transferred the stolen funds from Nobitex to a Burn Address, and this move is merely a political mockery without profit motive.

BlockBeats News, on June 18, according to a report released by elliptic, an on-chain data analysis agency, the attack on the Iranian crypto trading platform Nobitex is obviously related to the recent escalation of tensions between Israel and Iran. The funds stolen by the pro-Israel hacker group Gonjeshke Darande are currently stored at "spam addresses" with a variant of F*ckIRGCterrorists in their public keys. According to Elliptic, the attack does not appear to be aimed at profit. The addresses used by hackers are generated through "brute-force attacks" – a massive amount of computation to obtain a key pair with a specific long text, which means that the "predators" do not actually have control over the private keys of these addresses. This "fund burning" is clearly intended to send a political signal to Nobitex. Cosine, the founder of SlowMist, also confirmed the information, saying that the cryptocurrency worth more than $80 million stolen from Nobitex was directly transferred to an address with a high probability of being a black hole, that is, it was directly destroyed.
