Trader Harley Lewis Foote says attackers stole nearly all his U.S. dollar funds, leaving only $800, after remotely controlling his computer through a malicious WhatsApp payload. The payload reportedly downloaded automatically without a click. The attackers allegedly monitored Foote’s publicly disclosed short position for five days, then closed it as Bitcoin approached $68,000. Foote says the attackers moved the funds through Hyperliquid, MetaMask, and Tornado Cash.
