🚨 #CoinDCX Employee Arrested After $44M Hack via Fake Job Scam
Bengaluru police have arrested software engineer Rahul Agarwal in connection with the $44 million hack targeting CoinDCX.
🕵️♂️ Hackers allegedly used a fake part-time job offer to trick him into installing malware on his company laptop.
💻 The infected device granted access to internal wallet systems of parent firm Neblio Technologies.
🧑💼 The CoinDCX CEO initially described it as a server breach and promised full reimbursement.
✅ Exchange confirmed: customer funds were never at risk.
🎯 An $11 million bounty is now offered via their Recovery Programme to trace the stolen assets.
🇮🇳 This is India’s second major exchange hack, following WazirX’s $230M breach in 2024 linked to the #Lazarus group.
💬 A harsh reminder: social engineering remains one of crypto’s biggest attack vectors.
