🚨 Warning: Fake 'Technical Support' Scams Result in Huge Losses of $282 Million! 🚨
On-chain detective ZachXBT recently revealed a shocking social engineering attack: a user lost as much as 1459 BTC and 2,050,000 LTC, totaling approximately $282 million, after being misled by a fake Trezor customer service representative.
Incident Review:
Fatal Mistake: The victim provided the hardware wallet's **Seed Phrase** to a scammer posing as an official support staff. Asset Laundering: The hacker used the THORChain protocol to exchange assets for the anonymous coin Monero (XMR), temporarily causing a spike in XMR. Partial Recovery: Thanks to the efforts of ZeroShadow experts, about $700,000 has been tracked and frozen — this is just a drop in the bucket compared to the total loss.
Core Anti-Scam Reminders:
❌ Never Share Your Seed Phrase: No official customer service (whether Trezor, Ledger, or Binance) will ever ask you for your seed phrase or private key.
❌ Hardware Wallets Are Not Foolproof: If you voluntarily hand over the 'keys', even the safest cold wallet becomes useless.
❌ Be Cautious of Social Engineering: Any 'customer service' that contacts you should raise a red flag.
In the crypto world, safety comes first. Please protect your private keys!🛡️
