Canadian Woman Loses $1.3 Million in Bitcoin to SIM-Swap Scam
-
最新报道：A Canadian woman lost over $1.3 million in Bitcoin after falling victim to a SIM swap scam. The attacker gained control of her phone number, bypassing two-factor authentication to access her cryptocurrency accounts. Police confirmed the fraud but noted recovery is unlikely as transactions are irreversible. Experts warn SIM swaps are rising, urging users to switch to more secure authentication methods like hardware wallets or authenticator apps. The victim had stored her crypto on an exchange rather than a cold wallet, highlighting security risks of centralized platforms. Authorities advise vigilance against social engineering tactics used in such scams.
