CoinVoice has recently learned that, according to Cointelegraph, Mehdi Farooq, a partner at the crypto venture capital firm Hypersphere, stated that after falling victim to a fake Zoom call phishing attack, funds from his 6 wallets were stolen, resulting in the loss of years of savings.

Mehdi Farooq revealed that the attack began with a message from Alex Lin, whom he knows, shared on Telegram. The two had interacted previously, so this contact appeared to be 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, with hackers draining "years of savings" in just a few minutes [original link]
