🔴 🔴The $6 Billion Bitcoin Heist 🔴 🔴
In 2010, visionary Chinese investor Wei Zhang purchased thousands of #Bitcoins at less than a penny each, investing just $10. As Bitcoin's value surged, his modest investment transformed into a multi-billion-dollar fortune.
By 2017, Wei had accumulated an astounding 99,000 $BTC . However, in early 2018, a sophisticated phishing attack breached the security of CryptoLeap, the crypto margin exchange he founded in 2014. Hackers made off with Wei's entire #BTC holdings, valued at a staggering $6 billion.
This catastrophic event led to the downfall of CryptoLeap and Wei's resignation. Despite the immense loss, Wei pivoted his focus to #cybersecurity becoming a mentor and advocate for stronger protections in the crypto industry.
Wei's hard-earned lessons now serve to protect future investors from similar attacks. 🔐
