After a user was robbed of an incredible $330 million worth of Bitcoin in a recent hack, cryptocurrency detective ZachXBT has provided new information about the latest situation.
ZachXBT reported a few days ago that the victim of the incident was an elderly person living in the United States.
In newly revealed details, it was revealed that over $7 million of the stolen amount was frozen by the work of Binance and ZachXBT. In addition, ZachXBT reported in its statement that some clues about the suspects of the hacking incident have emerged.
Cryptocurrency detectives believe one of the main suspects in the April 27 incident is Somali national Nina/Mo, alias X, who runs a fraudulent call centre in the UK. Another suspect is believed to be W0rk, alias X, who aided in the call centre scam. Both users have since deleted all of their social media accounts.
The Bitcoin theft is thought to have been carried out as a result of social engineering. The scammers, who likely reached out to the unsuspecting BTC owner victim by phone, appear to have tricked the elderly into accessing their cryptocurrency wallets.
