THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS GOING AFTER $1.2 BILLION FROM THE BINANCE HACK 🔒💰
Today I found out that the U.S. Department of Justice got a judge’s approval to seize more than $1.2 billion of the $6.3 billion stolen from Binance on October 29. More than $2.7 billion has already been frozen.
They also dismantled FaceStealer, a North Korean scam that stole more than $400 million in 18 months through fake video calls: they used videos of real victims and deepfakes—that is, videos created with artificial intelligence that imitate a person’s face and voice—to trick people into installing malware.
To me, this makes it clear that in crypto, being wary of a suspicious link is no longer enough: now we have to be wary even of a video call with someone we know.
Have you ever received a video call or a strange message asking you to install something?
