Hypersphere Partner Targeted by Zoom Phishing Attack, Funds Stolen from 6 Wallets
Mehdi Farooq, an investment partner at crypto venture capital firm Hypersphere, revealed that after falling victim to a fake Zoom call phishing attack, funds from his six wallets were stolen, resulting in the loss of his savings accumulated over many years. Farooq explained that the attack began with a message on Telegram from Alex Lin, someone he knew and had interacted with before, making the contact seem routine. Lin shared a meeting link, and after joining the scheduled Zoom meeting, Farooq noticed there was no audio. Shortly after running an update, his system was compromised, and within just a few minutes, hackers had drained his years of savings.
