According to BlockBeats, on October 23, the former CEO of a crypto project lost $450,000 by connecting to a friend’s WiFi. The anti-money laundering company pointed out that this is a new trend called “intimate crime.”

Tom sold his shares for $500,000 and rented a house from a friend. A heavy rainstorm soaked his phone, and after restarting it, he discovered that his life savings had been stolen. An anti-money laundering company found that his friend stole the funds through a vulnerable WiFi.

In the past three months, the anti-money laundering firm has recorded seven similar cases, including 13 bitcoins and $300,000 stolen by close associates. Security firms recommend avoiding using public WiFi to access encrypted websites or wallets.
