🚨 **TRUE STORY: A Costly Lesson in Crypto Security** 🚨 **Ramesh**, a crypto enthusiast from India, had built a modest portfolio of ₹2.5 lakh (\~\$3K) over a year on **Binance**. One day, he got a call from someone claiming to be **Binance Support**.
The caller sounded calm and professional. They said his account had been **flagged for suspicious activity** and needed **urgent KYC re-verification** to avoid being frozen.
They shared an official-looking link and asked Ramesh to fill in a form with the following:
* Binance login email & password * 2FA OTP (from SMS) * **Seed phrase** for his wallet
Believing it was legitimate, he complied instantly. **Minutes later, his account was locked out.** **His entire portfolio vanished.** 💔 *All his savings and months of trading—gone in seconds.*

🔐 **The Brutal Truth:**
* **Binance will NEVER ask** for your password, 2FA codes, or seed phrase. * Scammers thrive on **urgency, fear, and fake authority**. * Always **double-check URLs**—phishing sites can look identical to the real ones. * Don’t trust **links from SMS, WhatsApp, Telegram**, or random emails. * Use **Binance’s official support portal**: [support.binance.com](https://support.binance.com)

🔎 **How to Protect Yourself:** ✅ Bookmark verified Binance URLs ✅ Store large funds in a **hardware wallet** ✅ Enable **anti-phishing codes** in your Binance account ✅ Stay informed about the latest scam methods — **awareness is your best defense**

**Crypto holds immense potential. But without security, it’s all at risk.** Learn from Ramesh’s experience — **scams target everyone**, not just newbies.
Here’s a rephrased version of the full report, maintaining clarity, flow, and emphasis:
**🚨 \$44M Crypto Heist at CoinDCX: Employee Arrested in High-Profile Cyber Theft**
On July 26, Bengaluru police arrested 30-year-old software engineer **Rahul Agarwal**, an employee at CoinDCX, in connection with a massive **\$44 million (₹379 crore)** crypto theft from the exchange’s internal wallet. Agarwal had been working with the company for over two years.
The breach began in the early hours of **July 19**, starting with a test transfer of **1 USDT at 2:37 a.m.** Using access credentials allegedly stolen from Agarwal’s company-issued laptop, hackers executed a series of transfers—ultimately draining **\$44 million** into **six separate wallets** by mid-morning.
According to investigators, Agarwal had been freelancing for unknown clients via **WhatsApp**, receiving instructions from a **German phone number**, and acknowledged receiving a deposit of **₹15 lakh (\~\$17,000)**. Authorities believe his system was compromised by malware, giving attackers the access they needed.
CoinDCX’s parent company, **Neblio Technologies**, has clarified that **no customer funds were affected**, as the breached wallet was separate from user assets. In response, the company has launched a **bounty of up to \$11 million** for any leads that help recover the stolen crypto.
### 🔐 What This Means
Security analysts are warning that this incident highlights a growing threat: **targeting privileged insiders via social engineering** to infiltrate critical systems. One Redditor summed it up bluntly:
> “If his credentials were stolen, he’s a victim—not the villain. Credential theft is real. The real problem lies in poor access control. Let’s fix the system instead of just blaming the individual.”
A senior official at Neblio called it a **“sophisticated social engineering attack”**, emphasizing CoinDCX’s full cooperation with authorities.
**What if Satoshi Nakamoto Was from Pakistan? 🇵🇰** Just imagine — if Bitcoin had been born here, could cities like Karachi or Lahore have become the global hubs of crypto innovation? With the incredible talent in Pakistan, who's to say platforms like Binance or Coinbase wouldn’t have been homegrown success stories?
Despite regulatory uncertainty, Pakistani youth are already making waves through Binance, Trust Wallet, and P2P trading — proving that innovation thrives here.
But the big questions still remain: 💰 Would crypto be taxed to the ground? ❌ Outlawed, or maybe even declared “Halal”? 📈 Could Pakistan actually take the lead in shaping the digital finance revolution?
The passion is here. The talent is undeniable. What’s missing is the right environment. With the proper support and regulation, Pakistan has the potential to rise as a true crypto powerhouse.

🤯🔥 Test (TST) Soars 350% in a Day… "Binance Alpha Effect" 🚀👀
Test (#TST) has surged 350%, reportedly due to its addition to Binance’s ‘Binance Alpha.’
#Binance Alpha highlights projects reflecting market trends but does not guarantee a listing. Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao clarified that TST has no direct connection to Binance, yet market interest skyrocketed, fueling another surge.
The meme coin Test (TST), built on Binance Chain (BNB), is on an upward trajectory, climbing 350% from the previous day. As of 23:58 on the 8th, TST is trading at $0.0836, according to CoinMarketCap.
Earlier, Binance added TST to 'Binance Alpha,' a collection of early-stage projects showing market potential. While Binance has stated that inclusion in Binance Alpha does not ensure a listing, traders still rushed in.
TST initially gained attention after the BNB Chain team used it as an example in an educational video on creating test tokens. Some traders began buying the token, leading to its first rally. Despite CZ's clarification that Binance is not affiliated with TST, speculation only grew, triggering another price spike.
🚨😱 Japan Requests Apple and Google to Block Five Cryptocurrency Exchanges 🇯🇵
Japan’s Financial Services Agency (FSA) has officially asked Apple and Google to block five unregistered cryptocurrency exchanges from their app stores, according to Nikkei. The exchanges in question are Bybit, MEXC Global, LBank, KUCOIN, and Bitget.
Apple has already removed the apps from its store in Japan as of Thursday, while Google has yet to respond. These exchanges were allegedly offering services in Japan without proper registration under the Payment Services Act, despite previous warnings from the FSA.
While removing the apps prevents new downloads, users can still access these exchanges through their websites. The FSA is reportedly working on additional measures to restrict access.
