BlockBeats News, August 22nd, On-chain detective ZachXBT revealed on his personal channel that on August 19, 2025, a victim fell for a social engineering attack and lost 783 bitcoins (approximately $91.4 million) in a scenario where the attacker impersonated customer support from a trading platform and a hardware wallet.

The stolen funds began to be gradually dispersed, with the attacker making multiple deposits to Wasabi. Coincidentally, this theft occurred on the one-year anniversary of the Genesis 243 million USD hack.
