A victim lost 783 Bitcoin (about $91.4 million) in a social engineering attack on Tuesday, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT.
The attackers posed as customer support representatives for a hardware wallet maker and a crypto exchange, tricking the victim into authorizing the transfer at 11:06 am UTC. A day later, the attackers began laundering the funds through the privacy-focused Bitcoin mixer Wasabi Wallet to conceal the trail.
More than $2.1 billion was stolen in crypto-related attacks in the first five months of 2025, according to blockchain security firm CertiK. Investors are reminded to always be cautious when receiving messages and to verify their authenticity.#BTC #BTCScam $BTC $BTC
🟠 80,000 Bitcoin from the Satoshi Era Just Moved — Worth Over $8.6 Billion 🟠
In one of the most mysterious and historic blockchain events to date, eight dormant Bitcoin wallets — untouched since 2011 — have moved 80,000 BTC, now valued at over $8.6 billion.
These coins were mined or received during the so-called “Satoshi era” (2009–2011), when Bitcoin’s anonymous creator was still active online. Back then, BTC traded for less than $1.
⏳ Held for over 14 years 💰 Acquired when BTC was ~$0.78 🚚 Transferred to modern wallets ❓ Owner unknown
On-chain analysis suggests the wallets may be linked to a single entity, but no one has claimed ownership — and the transferred BTC hasn’t moved further.
Why now? Who moved it? Is this a whale rebalancing or something bigger?
Regardless, it's a massive moment for Bitcoin history — and one the crypto world is watching closely. 👀
