Hacked

💥 Over $3,000,000 USDT vanished in seconds — and the crypto community is in disbelief.
This wasn’t a rug pull, nor a smart contract exploit — it was a devastating real-life mistake. 💔
👤 The victim, an Asian investor we’ll call Xiaolin, had spent years building his crypto portfolio. Before a trip, he did what many might consider “safe” — he sent his Ledger recovery phrase to his wife via WeChat, “just in case.” 📱
When he landed…
💀 Balance: 0 USDT.
Authorities dismissed it as a “family issue.” But the real villain? A hidden malware named “Financial Assistant.” 🕵️‍♂️
This Android plugin quietly recorded everything copied — including seed phrases.
⚡ The moment his wife pasted it, hackers struck.
💨 Funds gone in seconds. No warning. No refund. No recovery.
🧊 Cold Reality:
Most crypto losses aren’t caused by blockchain bugs — they happen through human mistakes and device compromises.
✅ 4 Security Rules to LIVE By:
1️⃣ Never share your seed phrase, not even with loved ones. 🔒
2️⃣ Always use a clean, trusted device — no unknown apps or plugins. 🧼
3️⃣ Teach your family that crypto = real money. 💰
4️⃣ Keep recovery phrases offline & secure — your wallet, your responsibility. 🧱
⚠️ In crypto, your biggest threat isn’t volatility — it’s your own phone. 📱💀
❤️ Stay smart. Stay safe.

Северокорейские хакеры с января 2024 года по сентябрь 2025-го похитили криптовалюту на $2,837 млрд. Большая часть средств легализуется через посредников в России, Гонконге и Камбодже, сообщили эксперты Многосторонней группы по мониторингу санкций в отношении КНДР (MSMT) при ООН.
Главной целью хакеров из КНДР эксперты Организации Объединенных Наций назвали крупные централизованные криптобиржи. Киберпреступники наладили тесные контакты с российскими группировками, которые занимаются разработкой программ-вымогателей, заявили представители MSMT.

В Северной Корее насчитывается не менее 2000 программистов, работающих удаленно под чужими именами в России, Лаосе, Камбодже и африканских странах. Они переводят свою зарплату на родину для финансирования военных программ, считают специалисты организации при ООН.

Ситуация осложняется тем, что киберподразделения из Пхеньяна начали использовать искусственный интеллект практически на каждом этапе хищения криптовалюты: разведка, фишинг, анализ кода, кражи и отмывание похищенных цифровых монет. Используя модели, схожие с ChatGPT и Claude, злоумышленники анализируют открытый исходный код блокчейнов, находят уязвимости у криптобирж и переносят успешные методы взлома из одной экосистемы в другую, рассказали эксперты MSMT.

По мнению специалистов ООН, без международного сотрудничества и создания единых стандартов кибербезопасности подобные схемы кражи виртуальных активов будут только шириться, угрожая не только крипторынку, но и глобальной финансовой стабильности.

Ранее эксперты работающей в области кибербезопасности компании Elliptic заявили, что северокорейские хакеры за первые девять месяцев года похитили более $2 млрд в криптовалютах. Это рекорд за всю историю наблюдений. Доля биткоинов в этом объеме могла составить от 20% до 35%.

The Coinbase hack saga continues following a breaking development about the US Justice Department’s plans to open an investigation into the data breach against the top crypto exchange.
This follows the company’s debut on the S&P 500, with the COIN stock price closing the day in the red.
US Justice Department To Investigate Coinbase Hack
According to a Bloomberg report, the US DOJ has opened a probe into the recent data breach at crypto exchange Coinbase.
Investigators, including those in the department’s criminal division in Washington, are reportedly digging into the events that led to the breach.
As we reported last week, the top crypto exchange suffered a cyberattack. The criminals allegedly bribed and recruited rogue customer service agents overseas to gain access to users’ personal data.
The company claimed that the hackers didn’t gain access to any sensitive data. Meanwhile, the exchange promised to reimburse affected customers of the Coinbase hack.
Additionally, they launched a $20 million reward to track down the exploiters, who had blackmailed them for the said amount in exchange for not releasing the data.
The Coinbase data breach affected top executives, including Sequoia Capital’s Roelof Botha. Meanwhile, exchanges Binance and Kraken reportedly also faced similar incidents.
Crypto millionaires have moved to hire bodyguards following the hack. The exchange is also facing up to six lawsuits due to the compromised user personal data.
Exchange Debuts On S&P 500
Amid the launch of the probe into the Coinbase hack, the exchange debuted on the S&P 500 today, becoming the first and only crypto company to achieve this milestone.
We also reported last week that the crypto exchange would replace Discover Financial Services, following Capital One’s acquisition of the latter.
Despite the debut, the COIN stock price closed the day in the red, trading at around $263.
The stock rebounded to this price level last Friday following the crash on May 15 due to reports of the data breach and the ongoing SEC investigation into alleged misleading user numbers in past disclosures.
The exchange’s Chief Legal Officer, Paul Grewal, confirmed that they are cooperating with the SEC on the investigation, although he believes it shouldn’t continue.
Meanwhile, concerning the Coinbase hack, Grewal also revealed that they have notified and are working with the DOJ and other US and international law enforcement agencies.
