A Scammer Posed as a UK Officer to Steal $2.8 Million Worth of Cryptocurrency
BlockBeats News, August 21, the North Wales Police are investigating a major cryptocurrency theft case. A fraudster impersonated a senior UK police officer and successfully stole £2.1 million (approximately $2.8 million) worth of Bitcoin.
The police stated that this was a "highly targeted and sophisticated fraud," and the fraudster may have obtained victim information through a data breach. The fraudster claimed to have arrested a suspect holding the victim's identification and used this to create panic and urgency, persuading the victim to log into a cold wallet through a link provided by them. The victim, believing they were following police instructions, entered their recovery phrase on a carefully crafted fake website, leading to the theft of funds. (Cointelegraph)
