A victim's cryptocurrency was stolen by an "acquaintance" and secretly obtained by the other party when copying the mnemonic phrase
PANews reported on May 30 that crypto KOL @michaelwong123 disclosed a typical "acquaintance crime" cryptocurrency theft case. The victim is a high-income person in the traditional industry, who entered the currency circle through a "guide" more than a year ago, bought BTC and ETH, and stored the safe with the mnemonic phrase by hand, and the wallet was genuine and not authorized by clicking on the unknown link, which was theoretically safe, but the assets were still stolen. The investigation found that the wallet was downloaded from official channels, without unknown authorization, and the mnemonic phrase was not saved online, so it was suspected that an acquaintance committed the crime, and finally locked the "inner ghost", that is, the guide, who had secretly obtained it as early as when the victim copied the mnemonic phrase. In the discussion group that analyzed the cause of the theft, the suspect was silent throughout the whole process and was only exposed when he was caught. Security Reminder: The wallet is downloaded from the official website; Do not click on unknown links, do not authorize at will; Keep the mnemonic phrase by hand, do not save it on the Internet; Be wary of the people around you, the mnemonic/private key is leaked, and the assets are difficult to protect.
