Be careful! Bitcoin was stolen due to connecting to a friend's WiFi network.

According to Decrypt, a former CEO of a cryptocurrency project lost $450,000 just for connecting to his 'best friend's' WiFi. Anti-money laundering companies point out that this is a new crime trend known as 'intimate crime'.

Tom had previously left a cryptocurrency company and sold his shares for $500,000. His friend rented a property to Tom while pretending to be unaware of the WiFi vulnerability. One night, Tom encountered a heavy rain that caused his phone to get wet, and when he managed to get the phone working again and re-entered his mnemonic phrase, he realized that his life savings were gone.

Through investigation, the anti-money laundering company determined that Tom's friend had stolen his funds through the vulnerable WiFi network. The anti-money laundering company claims to have recorded seven such cases in the past three months. This includes 13 bitcoins stolen by the victim's girlfriend and $300,000 stolen by the victim's brother, with the scammers simply exploiting their close relationships.

Security companies recommend that, in addition to common security measures like two-step verification, one should avoid using public WiFi networks to access cryptocurrency websites or wallets. #内容挖矿 $EGLD Follow me! Get more cryptocurrency news!
