PANews reported on June 19 that, according to Cointelegraph, Mehdi Farooq, an investment partner at crypto venture capital Hypersphere, disclosed on the X platform that he suffered a phishing Zoom meeting attack that led to the emptying of six crypto wallets and the loss of years of savings. The attack began with an acquaintance “Alex Lin” interviewing him via Telegram, who asked him to switch to Zoom Business on compliance grounds and tricked him into downloading a malicious updater. Farooq said that during the attack, the hackers still used Telegram to disguise normal chats, and even joked “see you in Singapore”. It was later confirmed that the real account had been compromised, and the attack may be related to the North Korean hacking group “dangrouspassword”.
