A major crypto theft occurred today, resulting in a whale losing $71 million worth of Bitcoin (BTC) to hackers. According to Look On-Chain, a data provider, the theft happened due to a phishing attack. The victim mistakenly sent 1,155 Wrapped Bitcoin (WBTC), valued at $71 million, to a fraudulent address created by the hacker.

This incident underscores the importance of verifying every transfer to prevent falling victim to crypto hackers.
