A former CEO of a cryptocurrency project had $450,000 stolen after connecting to a "best friend" WiFi. It is reported that the victim Tom (pseudonym) had previously sold company shares for $500,000 and moved to Asia. After meeting a "best friend" in the local area, Tom's mobile phone was damaged by rain. After repairing and re-entering the mnemonic, he found that his deposits had been stolen. The investigation found that the funds were transferred to a Binance account. Further investigation showed that Tom's "best friend" hacked into his device through the WiFi network. AMLBot said that 7 similar cases have been recorded in the past three months, involving amounts ranging from 13 bitcoins to $300,000. It is reported that Binance has frozen the relevant accounts, and Tom has also recovered $380,000, and the remaining $70,000 will be repaid in installments. (Decrypt)
