$282M Hardware Wallet Social Engineering Attack - A sophisticated scammer tricked a victim into revealing hardware wallet access on January 10, 2026, stealing 2.05M LTC and 1,459 BTC valued at $282M total. The attacker converted funds to Monero via instant exchanges (causing XMR's price spike) and bridged BTC to Ethereum, Ripple, and Litecoin via Thorchain. Reported by ZachXBT on January 16, 2026 at 17:18 UTC, this represents one of the largest social engineering crypto heists with funds partially laundered.
