As the central hub of Israel’s financial system, the stock exchange plays a critical role in the country’s economy, facilitating trade in stocks, bonds, mutual funds, and other securities.
This escalation came just a day after “Gonjeshke Darande” (Predatory Sparrow), a hacker group allegedly linked to Israel, claimed responsibility for a cyberattack on Nobitex, Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange, resulting in losses exceeding $90 million.
The same group had earlier taken credit for breaching data belonging to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Bank Sepah. While Israel boasts a modern, interconnected economy, Iran continues to struggle under the weight of international sanctions.
