ChainCatcher news, according to The Block, the crypto analysis platform TRM Labs reported that Israel recently arrested three individuals suspected of espionage for Iran, with two of them receiving crypto as compensation, which is a rare public case involving government agents using digital assets.
TRM stated that on June 18, Iran's largest crypto exchange Nobitex was hacked, losing over $90 million, with the attackers being a pro-Israel organization called Gonjeshke Darande. TRM analyzed that while there is no direct evidence, Israel may have used internal data obtained from the Nobitex attack (such as wallet and message records) to identify suspects, and the tactics are consistent with Israel's past actions. Chainalysis added that Nobitex is a key node in the crypto system under Iranian sanctions and has had on-chain intersections with groups related to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
