Leaked cellphone numbers have given scammers an easy way to drain friends.tech users' accounts.
A fraudster reportedly managed to steal around $385,000 worth of Ether
ETH
in less than 24 hours, amid the specter of a SIM-swap hack that apparently targeted friends.tech users.
One reported victim of the latest series of SIM swapping attacks posted to X (Twitter) following the attack:
“The SIM was swapped. Apparently, you can do it from the Apple store and switch it to the iPhone SE. Don't buy my keys, the wallet has been compromised.”
X user “KingMgugga” reported the attack targeting them happening in real time, posting to , Sorry."
Earlier this week, four other Friend.tech users claimed their accounts were drained due to SIM swapping or phishing attacks, with a total of around 109 ETH stolen.
