Attend an event and lose $4 million?
Several security attacks came to light during TOKEN2049 in Singapore in early October.
Hackers spoofed hotel, airport, and venue Wi-Fi networks, tricking attendees into connecting to malicious networks and visiting phishing pages.
Even more outrageous, some event organizers were accused of luring participants into installing remote-control software under the pretext of cybersecurity training, then stealing their private keys.
One trader lost more than $4 million, and the victims have reported the incident to the Singapore police.
Xiaohuihui has attended TOKEN2049 and many other major industry events. From now on, when attending crypto conferences, I’ll really have to keep my computer and wallet separate.
