Woman Arrested for $450,000 Crypto Heist

[joniboini]

My first thoughts exactly when I read that. A 56 year old man and a 23 year old woman, hmm... Sounds like someone was probably thinking too much with something other than their brain and paid the price. As bad as it sounds, I think both are at fault, the woman for taking advantage and the man (if is the case) for being so gullible.

The same scenario is repeated many times I suppose. This is not the first time I heard a rich guy fall for a (supposably) beautiful and attractive woman. Probably a rich woman can fall for an attractive guy too, just the classic sexual attraction thing. Still, $450k was a huge amount. If I had that money, I'd probably save it for myself and never tell anyone I have that.

A 23-year-old woman was arrested by the police over the theft of $450,000 in ripple, the cryptocurrency. This incident took place in New South Wales, Australia.

The victim reached out to the investigators saying that his account had been hacked the month before. He said that his account was inaccessible for a couple of days back in January.

When the man checked his account after re-gaining access, he found that his cryptocurrency account was also compromised, leaving almost zero balance in the account.

How was the woman arrested when it was an anonymous market? I think she gave out information or leaked information. I think you should give the link to that article so that I can better understand the story. If the IP addresses are easily detected, that shows that the blockchain technology is having problems.

You should be more careful about your account security. Can not trust anyone especially women, computer and phone need a separate password, using 2FA password will be safe for you.

Lmao. Thanks for s**t an giggles about your comment.  . I guess everyone's weakness is a woman including in cryptoverse. But the moral lesson is not to trust anyone, not even your wife or your nurse or your neighbour.  

Lol I just barely feel that there's a discrimination on the word especially.
So yeah he should just marry his computer and phones and more likely he's just an easy guy that when a woman and flirt him he'll easily gave his private keys. Ok, I'm just joking.

But are you a crypto girl or a crypto girl(male)?

When it comes to woman this is usually the common weakness of man. 
Speaking out things which aren't really needed to be spoken off which would really leads into loss because someone do took advantage of it.

Wow that's really huge and how did she go about it at first, this is really a GOODNEWS and I believe many others will take note and I love the service the police get to offer on that.

Some people will do anything, and is still bad that we have people who only think to steal and steal others people money. Bad that society is like this, at this times. I hope in future things like this not happen anymore.  At least was the money recovered or they were already spent and was nothing recovered?

Lol. There's no so called world peace, dude. The women has intentions from the beginning to steal from the man. And we have been hearing this kind of news and will continue until people learn not to trust any (wo)man in crypto verse.

I guess that it's just human nature to think that you're the exception to the rule, people often are blinded and believe that it's true love in their case and that it's different to all of the other stories they've heard of elsewhere. But similarly I would do the same, age difference or not, any decent fortune I had would be kept secret until I could truly trust someone. Even then it would be on a need to know basis.

That's good news, thieves can be caught too, even though it's very difficult to catch hackers. We must be more careful in maintaining our account. Use a second password like Google Authenticator. This can be a lesson for bitcoiners.

I was actually surprised the person was caught and this simply shows this person is probably just learning and was not able to cover her tracks well which I know a lot of hackers are always fond of doing. Nonetheless, it is a good thing this lady was caught and hopefully will end up facing justice. Still, this does not change the fact that people need to always take security seriously, like their life depends on it actually. At this day and age, it is always absurd to see people still making use of abc123 as their password, and that makes me wonder, the world some people are still living in.

When the man checked his account after re-gaining access, he found that his cryptocurrency account was also compromised, leaving almost zero balance in the account.

At this stage, people really need to take security extremely seriously when it comes to cryptocurrency activities, knowing for a fact that there are so many people who are trying to reap where they never sowed and they are ready to wipe it all out. It is even a good thing that the culprit was found and arrested, and in this case, this must have been a learner. Sometimes for most hackers, you will really not even be able to get a chance at all to know who is behind the curtain, let alone get your money back or get the culprit arrested.

Kudos to the security agents who were able to affect the arrest after a quality investigation. Good luck to the victim at least the money will be recovered or part of it. During the investigations, the loophole on how the thief manages to get access to the account will be ascertained and blocked against future occurrence.

450,000$ was a big amount of money here in my country that is equivalent of 23, 850,000M in our currency. This is actually my first time to heard in the news where the police captured or traced where the hacker is, and take note the hacker was too young lady. I wish that all hackers in crypto currency will be trace and catch by the police also.

This would be very good and would also be very good if the police arrested the criminals of ICOs


This is a very strange case, the guy was 56 years old and had not kept his coins in the wallet? when they say:

What account are they talking about? Are talking about his exchange account or his wallet or his email? I do not understand anything

Jezz, what's with these people stealing cryptocurrency from the other? People should do keep safe their belonging specially the cryptocurrency because it's so special and it's just like your own money or a credit card. We should keep our own private keys and passwords to a secure places and also the news is a bit blurry, i think they missed something in that news.

[omonuyak]

This is really serious as the amount involved is really huge.  $450,000 is not a small money to an average person and thank God she was cut. Hacking has been happening before the advent of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology but the enemies of cryptocurrencies are going to just pick this and started to promote how insecure cryptocurrencies is.  I believe that those hackers are going to remain with us either we are using fiat or cryptcoin.

Not even our own money or credit card would really be safe or neither both ways when the time comes that a certain man would really be boastful to his possession.
This is why there are really instances of getting robbed because of such behavior. Even how much money we do have we do still need to be on low key not to make our money
safe but also to protect ourself from any possible harm.

[Considered]

I wouldn't think that this is uncommon, we have  a problem with people not keeping their coins and their private keys in the safest place and reading the story I think the man and the woman might have had an intimate relationship and he probably gave her the access to the account thinking that he could trust her. This just goes to show how much we should guard our coins
