ALERT! A fake wallet support tricked a victim and stole $91.4 million in the largest hack of #bitcoin in 2025
In a social engineering attack that has left the crypto community in shock, a victim has lost the astonishing amount of 783 #BTC , valued at approximately $91.4 million dollars.
The theft, discovered by blockchain detective ZachXBT, occurred on August 19 and underscores the dangers of scams that rely on trust.
The attacker posed as a support agent for a hardware wallet, earning the victim's trust before tricking them into handing over their wallet credentials.
The Largest Theft of 2025: This incident is shaping up to be the biggest Bitcoin hack of the year to date and occurs exactly one year after a Genesis creditor was robbed of $243 million dollars.
Immediate Money Laundering: Once the attacker obtained the funds, the 783 BTC were sent through a laundering process, with multiple deposits made in Wasabi Wallet, a privacy tool used to obscure the trail of transactions.
