[QUOTE="Weather Man, post: 16947809, member: 137766"] The "expert" gets bounced, LOL. They need to change the name of crypto to swindled! [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/news/blockchain-capital-s-bart-stephens-lost-6-3-million-in-sim-swap-crypto-hack/ar-AA1fzqnf?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=43fbacfec1ab43328e42591fce73b0b9&ei=45[/URL] Bart Stephens, cofounder and managing partner of crypto fund Blockchain Capital who was an early and prominent evangelist for cryptocurrencies, has filed a lawsuit against an anonymous hacker who stole $6.3 million of bitcoin, ether and other cryptocurrencies from his digital wallets. Stephens alleges that the hacker, who is identified only as Jane Doe, used personal information available online and on the dark web to bypass security checks with his cellular network provider and change account passwords in May. The hacker ordered a new cell phone after seizing control of his cellular network account, and then ported Stephen’s private cell number to a SIM in the new device, according to a lawsuit filed at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on August 16. This exploit is known as a SIM-swap attack, which the [URL='https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/phoenix/news/press-releases/fbi-tech-tuesday-sim-swapping']Federal Bureau of Investigations[/URL] warned in 2022 were increasingly common and targeted at victims who were likely to own large amounts of cryptocurrency. The FBI estimates that [URL='https://www.ic3.gov/Media/PDF/AnnualReport/2022_IC3Report.pdf']$72 million[/URL] was stolen in SIM-swap attacks last year, up from [URL='https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA220208']$68 million[/URL] in 2021.
