He stole $245 million and could blow $500,000 at a nightclub in one night. The most outrageous thing I learned? He wasn’t a hacker.
This 22-year-old Singaporean guy pulled it off with just a phone call. He pretended to be Google support and got his victims to install remote-access software—and just like that, more than 4,100 bitcoins were gone. He spent the money all over the world, posting photos of his cars, watches, and nightclub bills online. It’s no surprise he eventually got caught.
My takeaway is pretty simple: don’t keep large amounts of crypto on exchanges or in apps where you can spend it with a quick tap. Hang up on any unsolicited customer-service calls. No amount of technology can protect you if you click “Agree” yourself.
Have you ever encountered a fake customer-service agent?
