๐OKX crypto exchange & SlowMist are on a detective hunt after a crafty SIM swap attack led to the theft of two user accounts. The culprit? An SMS from Hong Kong ๐ญ๐ฐ and a sneaky new API Key. ๐ฐMillions are missing, but the exact amount is still a mystery.
๐The plot thickens as it seems the exchange's 2FA security wasn't the weak link. Could it be that the attackers found a loophole to switch to a lower-security verification method? The jury's still out on that one.
๐ซIn other news, phishing attacks are on the rise, with a data breach at CoinGecko leading to over 23K phishing emails sent to victims. And it seems private key leaks are the main culprits of crypto hacks.
๐ฎLooking ahead, let's stay optimistic & vigilant. After all, every cloud has a silver lining, right? ๐ชWhat are your thoughts on this? Let's chat in the comments! #DeFi #Web3 #TechNews
