🔴 🔴 The $6 Billion Bitcoin Heist 🔴 🔴
In 2010, visionary Chinese investor Wei Zhang made a groundbreaking move by purchasing thousands of #Bitcoins for less than a penny each, with an investment of just $10. As Bitcoin's value skyrocketed, his small investment turned into a multi-billion-dollar fortune.
By 2017, Wei had amassed an astonishing 99,000 $BTC . However, in early 2018, a sophisticated phishing attack compromised the security of CryptoLeap, the crypto margin exchange he had founded in 2014. Hackers made off with Wei's entire #BTC holdings, valued at an incredible $6 billion.
This catastrophic event led to the collapse of CryptoLeap and Wei's resignation. Despite the immense loss, Wei shifted 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. 🔐
