One minute I was prepping for a Zoom call. Ten minutes later, large part of my life savings were gone. It started with a message on Telegram from Alex Lin — someone I knew. He wanted to catch up. I shared my Calendly link. He booked a slot for the next day. A few minutes before the call, he asked to switch to Zoom Business “for compliance reasons” — said one of his LPs would be joining - Kent (who I also knew) Given we were doing a lot of treasury deals and there was genuine LP interest, it didn’t seem out of the ordinary. I joined the Zoom. No audio. But I could see both of them. They messaged in the chat: “Can you hear us?” They told me to update Zoom to fix the audio issue. That’s when it happened when I update. Six wallets drained (my fault for not keeping things more buttoned up) My laptop compromised completely. Years of savings - gone in minutes. I found out later that Alex’s account had been hacked. And the worst part?While my wallet was being emptied, the hacker kept chatting on Telegram like nothing was wrong. He even joked: “Let’s catch up at SG” It was surreal and completely Violating. But in the darkest moment, whitehat hackers stepped up — complete strangers offering help when I was at my lowest Turns out I was compromised by DPRK affiliated threat know as dangrouspassword Attaching the video moment with the hacker (which was fake)
