đ¨ MAJOR CRYPTO THEFT ALERT! đ¨
Another significant crypto theft has occurred today, resulting in a whale losing $71 million worth of #Bitcoin (BTC) to hackers. The victim lost 1,155 #WBTC to a phishing attack.
According to Look On-Chain, a leading data provider, here's what happened:
- The victim created a new address and transferred 0.05 ETH to it.
- The fraudster then created a similar-looking address and transferred 0 ETH to himself, making the transfer appear in the transaction history.
- Many wallets hide the middle part of the address, making it harder to differentiate.
- When the victim attempted to transfer WBTC to the new address, they accidentally copied the fraudster's address and sent all WBTC to them.
This incident serves as a reminder to double-check every transfer to prevent falling victim to crypto hackers.
