North Korean Hackers Top Crypto Exploits List, But Another State May Surprise You
- On June 18, 2025, a hacking collective linked to Israel called Gonjeshke Darande carried out a cyberattack on Nobitex, Iran's biggest cryptocurrency platform, resulting in the theft of more than $90 million.
- This attack followed rising crypto theft in early 2025, driven by state-sponsored groups and increasing geopolitical tensions around sanctions evasion.
- Over the first half of 2025, crypto hacks surged to $2.1 billion in losses across 75 incidents, led by infrastructure attacks on private keys and seed phrases.

- These trends suggest increasing use of crypto hacks as geopolitical tools, prompting calls for stronger global law enforcement cooperation and cybersecurity defenses.
