Odaily Planet Daily News: Mehdi Farooq, investment partner at the crypto venture capital firm Hypersphere, stated that after falling victim to a fake Zoom call phishing attack, his funds in 6 wallets were stolen, resulting in the loss of years of savings. Mehdi Farooq revealed that the attack began with a message sent by someone he knew, Alex Lin, on Telegram. The two had interacted previously, so the contact seemed routine. The latter shared a meeting link, and after joining the scheduled Zoom meeting, he found there was no audio. Shortly after running an update, his system was compromised, and hackers 'drained years of his savings' in just a few minutes (Cointelegraph).
