(a year ago)A group of anti-Giran hackers with possible links to Israel announced on Wednesday an attack on one of Iran's largest Kryptonite scholarships, destroying nearly $90m and threatening to expose the platform's source code.

A group known as the Darande Gonjeke, or “Harrabeli robbing” took over the attack, making it the second operation of the group within two days. On Tuesday, the group claimed it had destroyed data at Iran's state-owned Sepah Bank, amid mounting hostilities and missile attacks between Israel and Iran.
Wednesday's attack targeted Nobitex, one of Iran's largest Kryptonite scholarships. The platform allegedly helps the Iranian government avoid sanctions and finance illegal operations around the world, hackers claimed in a message posted in its social media channels early Wednesday.
Nobitex's website was not available Wednesday. Messages sent to the company's support channel on the telegram did not return. Gonjeshke Darande did not answer the requests for comment, reports CBS News.
Gonishke Darande is a well-known group of hackers with a history of sophisticated cyberattacks targeting Iran. A 2021 operation, claimed by the group, caused widespread disruptions of gas stations, while an attack of 2022 aimed at an Iranian steel factory caused a major fire and tangible damage, offline.
Israel has never officially admitted to being behind the group, although Israeli media have widely reported Gonesjeke Darande as “regarding Israel”.
