💸 How to lose $110,000 in 20 years because of one wrong decision, and what safety tips does a victim of scam give?
— Someone approached me with a request to join a private group. To do this, you had to download the Korean application Kakaocall. — They sent me a download link, but I was skeptical about it, so I went to the official website and downloaded it there. — The scammer said that the conference function is in beta version, so you need to download the application from the link. — I first downloaded the application on my Windows laptop. It seemed to work fine. So I went and downloaded it onto my main Mac laptop. — The application asked for “terminal permission”, I rejected it. But they still started withdrawing crypto from all my wallets.
Tips for you guys:
⏺ Turn off the Internet as soon as you realize that you have been deceived. ⏺ Do not download any questionable applications on your main laptop. ⏺ Don't trust anyone who sends links. ⏺ Don't trust anyone who tries to help you after you publicly report the theft on Twitter.
🧐 How a hacker stole $1 million from a Binance account without hacking the account or 2FA
A new story of scam on the Internet from a Chinese user. A short summary from the victim’s words:
— On May 24, I was driving home from work, my computer and phone were with me. “At that moment there was crazy trading going on in my account, but I didn’t know about it. QTUM/BTC is up 21% due to purchases from my account, DASH/BTC is up 27%, PYR/BTC is up 31%, NEO/USDC is up 22%. — I knew nothing about these operations until, out of habit, I opened an account on Binance to see the price of BTC. “I was subsequently informed by experts that a hacker had hacked my web page cookies and was manipulating asset prices from my account. — The hacker, by manipulating asset prices from my account, earned money and successfully withdrew it from Binance. When I contacted support, the funds had already been withdrawn. — The culprit of the attack is a Chrome extension called Aggr. — The principle of the attack is this: if you install and use a malicious plugin, the hacker can collect your cookies on the hacker server, and from there use it to intercept active user sessions, pretending to be the user themselves. - No more need to hack password or 2FA to control your account. Chrome web extensions can be just as harmful as downloading malicious apps.
TURBO is another memcoin that is gaining popularity. Its feature is that it was created using ChatGPT. TURBO was created in April 2023. Rhett Mankind asked the chatbot to create the “next great memecoin” and simply followed all the recommendations that the artificial intelligence gave it. ChatGPT developed the project concept, tokenomics, WhitePaper and code.
📈 NOT continues to move up. The volume of trading in futures on Binance has already exceeded the capitalization of the project. Under the hood of growth sits market maker DWF Labs, known as a fan of charting the Burj Khalifa (pump and dump). So far, according to indirect signs, there is no peak of the tower yet, but you always need to remember how such a swing ends (with a sharp fall).
PayPal will launch its stablecoin PYUSD on the Solana network. So far, PYUSD is not in demand: it has 8,600 holders on the Ethereum network and a capitalization of less than $400,000.
The LayerZero cross-chain bridge will add support for Solana. Thanks to this, it will be possible to transfer assets between Solana and other blockchains, including Arbitrum, Ethereum, Polygon.
💬 Mt Gox commented on the transfer of more than 100,000 BTC.
Transfers are carried out in preparation for payments, which have not yet been made in cryptocurrencies. Let us remind you that fiat payments began in December 2023. The payment deadline for BTC and BCH is currently October 31, 2024.
Although the payments themselves have not yet been made, the deadlines are getting closer. And they will most likely begin soon.
💡 Let us remind you: the once largest Bitcoin exchange Mt Gox was hacked in 2014 for 850,000 BTC. Then about 140,000 BTC were returned. And now, 10 years later, they are finally going to pay them to the affected users.
🧐 The question remains how payments will affect the price of Bitcoin. On the one hand, the sale of 140,000 BTC ($9.5 billion) could lead to a drop in quotes. On the other hand, sales are unlikely to be sudden and immediate, and Bitcoin ETFs alone have already bought more than 1 million BTC from the market.
But the news feed itself can, of course, be played in a negative direction.
