Israel may succeed in taking out Iran’s air defenses, ballistic missiles and much of its nuclear program.

Hackers stole the equivalent of roughly $90 million from Iran’s largest cryptocurrency exchange on Wednesday, according to multiple independent crypto-tracking firms.

An anti-Iranian hacking group with possible ties to Israel announced an attack on one of Iran's largest cryptocurrency exchanges on Wednesday, destroying nearly $90 million and threatening to expose the platform's source code.

The hackers, who call themselves Predatory Sparrow, sent the funds to likely inaccessible blockchain addresses, burning the cryptocurrency.
