Suman began to engage in cryptocurrency investments after a long -term career in the world of art. The artist accumulated 17.5 bitcoins and 225 broadcasts – he kept these crypto acts in the hardware wallet Trezor Model One. First, the man received a text warning about the alleged unauthorized access to his account on Coinbase. Soon after the phone, a man who introduced himself by a certain Brett Miller from the Coinbase security service contacted.
The caller seemed to the man a reliable specialist, so Suman believed that his funds could be at risk, despite the fact that offline is stored. Having entered the confidence in the future victim, the swindler spent the so-called “security procedure”, where the investor needed to introduce the CID-Frane wallet on a fake website. The appearance of the site imitated the interface of the Coinbase exchange.
Later, another person contacted Suman, who also stated that he was from Coinbase. Thanks to him, the investor repeatedly passed the “step -by -step instructions for security.” By the time the call ended, all Suman crypto acts were stolen.
Recently, the Coinbase exchange announced a user leak. The leadership of the exchange claims that the leak occurred due to the bribery of the client support service in India, as a result of which hackers gained access to the confidential information of users: names, balance sheets and transactions.
In March, users of Coinbase and Gemini exchanges began to complain about fraudulent letters, whose senders convince traders to open a new wallet, providing them with ready-made sid frazes. Following the instructions of the scammers, users lose their crypto assets.
