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

Tom rented a friend's property after selling shares for $500,000. A heavy rain caused his phone to get wet, and after rebooting, he discovered his life savings had been stolen. An anti-money laundering company found that his friend had stolen the funds through a vulnerable WiFi connection.

In the past three months, the anti-money laundering company has recorded seven similar cases, including 13 bitcoins and $300,000 stolen by intimate partners. Security companies recommend avoiding public WiFi when accessing crypto websites or wallets.
