A prominent Bitcoiner suffered a staggering $91 million theft in a sophisticated social engineering attack on Tuesday, according to blockchain investigator ZachXBT. The victim lost 783 Bitcoin (BTC) through the manipulation of impersonating crypto exchange and hardware wallet support platforms, with funds then being laundered through Wasabi Wallet for anonymity purposes. ZachXBT detailed this information via X post on Thursday, revealing that the theft took place at 11:06 am UTC. The perpetrator began laundering the stolen funds a day later using Wasabi’s privacy-focused blockchain wallet to conceal their trail of ill-gotten gains. Social engineering attacks rely on deception; trickery used to exploit individuals for sensitive data such as private keys or passwords, leading to theft of crypto funds. These tactics have plagued the crypto industry, targeting anyone from seasoned investors to senior citizens. ZachXBT advised potential victims to assume every call and email are scams by default.
