Investigators believe that Agarval was in contact with the attackers who pretend to be recruiters looking for freelance specialists. Having promised the programmer a part -time job for creating software, the attackers forced Agarval to establish harmful software on his official laptop. The harmful program made it possible to remotely use its accounting data, providing scammers with unauthorized access to the internal CoindCX systems.
The police also suspect Agarval of fraud and impersonate another person. According to the investigation, 17 131 rupees ($ 195) were discovered on the personal bank account of Agagarl, which were tracked to employers related to the malware. The man himself claims that he did not know about the hacking before he was charged.
The incident with a breakdown of the exchange occurred on July 19. The CoindCX team discovered a large outflow of funds from its wallets for third -party addresses. The maternal company Neblio Technologies informed local law enforcement officers about hacking three days later, after which the police launched an investigation. To speed up the refund, CoindCX promised to pay up to 25% of any returned amount. If the entire stolen amount is returned, the reward fund will be $ 11 million. The White Hackers and the blockchain-researchers are invited to participate.
According to a study conducted by MexC crypto officers, India has become one of the most popular regions of the planet among crypto -meshs. Criminals began to realize phishing attacks more often and offer fake tokens.
