⚡️🚨 NEW - A crypto company has just lost more than $500,000 after scammers cloned its work WhatsApp group… and replaced all of its colleagues with imposters. The incident took place in Hong Kong. The hackers first took control of the WhatsApp account of an employee at a company specializing in crypto trading. They then blocked his real contacts and recreated his work group exactly as it was, copying its name, photo, and the participants’ profiles. Once the trap was set, the scammers posed as a regular client and requested a crypto conversion. The employee, convinced he was chatting with his usual contacts, sent the funds to the specified wallet. It wasn’t until he noticed that the real client’s account didn’t have the necessary balance that he made a phone call… and discovered the scam. More than 440,000 € were stolen. Hong Kong police have recorded more than 150 WhatsApp account hijackings in just two weeks, resulting in losses of over 15 million HKD.
