گزارش وبسایت سایبراسکوپ درباره هک گسترده شبکه بانکی جمهوری اسلامی
The CyberScope website reported on a widespread hack of the banking network of the Islamic Republic, stating that documents and images revealed emails exchanged between Arash Babaei, CEO of the Tosan Company, which provides software support services for Iranian banks, and the hacking group IRLEX regarding ransom payments. These emails aimed to convince the group not to publish the stolen information from the banks.

CyberScope mentioned that these emails were received from a third party and were later verified by an independent source familiar with the matter.

According to the report, in the first ransom payment, Tosan requested the removal of a Telegram post about the extensive hack from the IRLEX account, leading to the payment of one Bitcoin to an address specified by the hacking group. Following the agreement on the initial payment of one Bitcoin, they planned to pay three Bitcoins per week, ultimately agreeing on a total payment of 35 Bitcoins.

CyberScope added that the cryptocurrency wallet of the hacking group has so far received about 10 Bitcoins, equivalent to approximately $561,000.

P.S. The name of the security vulnerability in the Tosan Company was first revealed in investigations by Abdi Media and in a letter to the Minister of Economy. Independent investigations by Abdi Media in this regard are ongoing, and more information will be published.
