⚠️❌ The CEO of Emblem Vault is a victim of a 75% theft of his crypto assets due to a Zoom call.
Jake Gallen lost approximately $100,000 in assets and several NFTs as a result of a highly effective scam.
The attacker, who goes by the name "ELUSIVE COMET," "uses advanced social engineering techniques to trick victims into installing malware, ultimately leading to the theft of their digital assets."
Gallen stated that he was interviewed after being contacted by a verified account on platform X with 26,000 followers, claiming to be the founder and CEO of a cryptocurrency mining platform.
But during the interview, Gallen fell into the trap and activated the installation of malware called "GOOPDATE," which stole his login credentials and enabled the attacker to access his crypto wallets.
There is a default-enabled option on Zoom that allows participants to request remote access and full control of your device.
⚠️ If you are using ZOOM, disable this option immediately from the settings ⚠️
