Chongqing police cracked a virtual currency theft case

At the end of June this year, the Tiangongdian Police Station of Liangjiang New District Branch received a report from a technology company in the jurisdiction, saying that more than 2.6 million BLAST coins (a virtual currency) were lost in the company's account, with a value of about RMB 400,000.

Based on the clues provided by the reporter, the police conducted an in-depth analysis of the transaction path and the flow of money, and locked in the suspects Yang, Wu, and Sheng. The police arrested the three people and brought them to justice, and the three confessed to the crime.

After investigation, it was found that the three suspects were employees of the technology company before the incident. Their daily work was to use multiple accounts to play roles in a game released by a foreign game company to earn points.

The points are accumulated in the virtual wallet address they use. The game officials will convert the points into virtual currency, and the technology company will earn income by cashing in virtual currency. While working in the company, the three people took advantage of their positions to implant codes into the company's computers and stole the company's virtual wallet address and private key password.

On the evening of June 26 this year, after receiving the BLAST coins issued by the game official in the company's virtual wallet, the three people used the company's virtual wallet address and corresponding private key password stolen in advance to transfer the BLAST coins in the company's virtual wallet to the virtual wallet prepared in advance, and then cashed out and divided the loot.

At present, Yang, Wu, and Sheng have been approved for arrest by the procuratorate in accordance with the law for suspected theft, and the case is under further investigation. #内容挖矿 Follow me! Get more information about the currency circle!
