Lost $53,000 by trusting that the iPhone is absolutely secure – the most expensive lesson in a crypto trader’s life.
The market downturn has brought along many risks: accounts getting wiped out, hackers starting to pay attention. Below is a story shared by a user named Lee Tuan.
Hopefully, through his painful loss, we can gain more experience and a lifelong lesson.
He placed complete trust in the security of his iPhone 14 Pro Max, storing everything on the device, including:
Metamask wallet
Trust wallet
Binance
Bybit
MEXC
Gate
Bitmart
Bitget
As well as:
Gmail login
Phone number for login
2FA
Passkeys
All of this was on his iPhone.
He shared that a few days before the hack happened, he had watched pirated movies (the film “Đèn Âm Hồn”), and afterwards received several notifications about Gmail login attempts from another location in Ho Chi Minh City.
The hacker transferred a total of:
4,793 NEAR
9,491 ONDO
2,309 SUI
3,706 USDT
out of his wallet.
The total damage was approximately $53,000 USD.
