### đš Crypto Trader Loses Nearly $1M Due to Malicious Plugin
Crypto trader 'CryptoNakamao' lost almost $1 million from his Binance account due to a malicious Chrome plugin called 'Aggr.' This plugin acted as a trojan horse, giving hackers access to his browser cookies. They used these cookies to manipulate his account without needing his password or 2FA codes.
The hackers employed a technique called 'counter-trading,' where they spiked the prices of low liquidity crypto pairs, causing significant price increases in a short time. Nakamao realized his account was compromised when he logged in to check Bitcoin prices and found his funds gone.
Nakamao criticized Binanceâs response to the breach, noting that the platform was already aware of the rogue plugin. Despite his ordeal, he praised the professionalism of some Binance staff members.
This incident highlights the dangers of using third-party browser plugins, especially when handling significant financial transactions. Always evaluate the security of the tools you use for trading.
