🚨 783 $BTC – Bay in a flash!

An investor lost 783 Bitcoin (≈ 91 million USD) just because of a very sophisticated social engineering trick. The perpetrator impersonated a support staff of the hardware wallet and exchange, making the victim believe it was real and handing over control.

According to an investigation by ZachXBT, the BTC was laundered through Wasabi Wallet and then spread across multiple wallets. This is not the first time: last year, another victim lost more than 4,000 BTC, and the perpetrator spent the money on supercars, watches, and real estate before being caught.

The scam tactics are becoming increasingly diverse:

🔹 Impersonating customer support

🔹 SIM swapping to take over phone numbers

🔹 Fake emails/websites (phishing)

🔹 Even setting up “fake” crypto companies to trick candidates into downloading malware

⚠️ A gentle reminder: In crypto, there is no one who is “customer support” asking for your private key or 2FA code! Anyone asking for those has only one profession: scamming 🤡

👉 Keep your cold wallet safe, don’t share sensitive information, and always be alert to any “unexpected enthusiastic support”.

If you accidentally get scammed, blaming the market won’t save your wallet 😭
