Communication from a foreign intelligence agency to the Indian intelligence flagging crypto wallets being operated and maintained by al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, led Delhi Police to crack a one-of-its-kind crypto hacking case.
In July last year, Israel’s defence ministry’s National Bureau for Counter Terror Financing announced that it had seized a number of digital wallets linked to Hamas. The ministry ordered freezing of the accounts after a joint operation with a cryptocurrency tracking firm uncovered a web of electronic wallets used by Hamas to raise funds. The list of accounts was shared with various countries, including India.
