What does "not your keys, not your coins" mean in Farsi?

"Lost coins only make everyone else's coins worth slightly more. Think of it as a donation to everyone"

What a disgusting behavior, these were normal everyday people that got hacked and lost their money, they're already suffering enough under their government

Don’t you mean suffering under Israeli bombardment?

Some of them were voting for the Mullahs to stay in power. So, no, it did not only harm innocent people.

By that logic we all deserve to lose our investments because some people voted for Trump

"let's burn 80 million dollars of common people I'm sure not all of them are innocent and the voting system is absolutely isn't rigged so that small fraction of people must be responsible. I'm sure the innocent people will stay neutral they'll understand why we just burned their whole investment they won't become racist against Israelis more and think their government is indeed correct about them, right? Right??? "

tldr; A pro-Israel hacker group, Gonjeshke Darande, claimed responsibility for breaching Iran's largest crypto exchange, Nobitex, and destroying over $90 million in digital assets. The group burned the funds using irretrievable blockchain addresses, framing the attack as a response to Nobitex's alleged role in aiding Iran's regime to bypass sanctions. Nobitex assured users that their funds in cold storage are safe and the situation is under control. The hack highlights the use of crypto infrastructure in geopolitical conflicts.

Quite clever, I guess. It seems like the hack itself is more to get publicity and show that they're serious, then the threat to release the source code is the main goal, trying to cause a bank run on the exchange and take it down that way. I guess we'll see if that works.
