Alright, straight up — it’s tricky. Because of sanctions, most big exchanges like Binance and Bybit don’t officially support Iranian users. If you try to register with an Iranian IP or ID, they’ll probably block or freeze your account. So, if you’re still planning to use them, you gotta be super careful.
Here’s what most people usually do — for educational purposes only:
Use a strong VPN (like NordVPN, Mullvad, or ProtonVPN):
Always connect through a stable, non-Iranian IP (like the Netherlands or Switzerland).
Make sure it has a kill switch in case the connection drops.
Don’t use real Iranian documents for KYC:
Many users avoid platforms that require strict KYC.
If KYC is required (like on Bybit now), they use second passports or IDs from other countries — if they legally have one.
Create a fresh email and avoid Iranian phone numbers:
Use ProtonMail or Gmail for added privacy.
Sign up with a virtual number or foreign number if SMS verification is needed.
Avoid using Iranian banks or cards:
Buy crypto through local peer-to-peer (P2P) markets (like using LocalBitcoins, if available, or P2P on Binance via VPN).
Then transfer that crypto to your main exchange account.
Withdraw to cold wallets regularly:
Don’t leave too much on the exchange. Use something like Trust Wallet or Ledger for better security.
Important Disclaimer:
Using these exchanges while being in Iran might violate their terms and could lead to account bans or frozen funds if you’re detected. This info is shared just for awareness, not as financial or legal advice. Always be cautious and understand the risks before doing anything.
First off, you gotta move fast. If you still have access to your account, hit up Bybit support right away — like, open a support ticket or use their live chat.

First off, you gotta move fast. If you still have access to your account, hit up Bybit support right away — like, open a support ticket or use their live chat. Give them all the info you have:
Your UID and email
The time it happened
The TxID of the transaction
The account number that received your USDT
Any screenshots you’ve got
Tell them your account was hacked and someone moved your USDT without permission. If the thief’s account is still on Bybit, their security team might be able to freeze it and recover your funds.
Also, shoot an email to security@bybit.com with the subject like:
URGENT – Stolen Funds / Account HackedSame deal — just explain what happened and attach all the details.
If you’re serious about catching this guy, file a report with your local cybercrime unit. They can reach out to Bybit officially, and exchanges usually take that stuff more seriously when cops are involved.
You can try checking where the crypto went using a site like Tronscan (if it was on Tron) or Etherscan. It’ll show if it went to another exchange wallet — which you can also report, but again, the police usually need to get involved for anything to happen there.
And yeah, once this is handled, lock your account down. Get 2FA, change your passwords, and don’t sleep on security anymore.
