Hypersphere partner: Encountered Zoom phishing attack, 6 wallets stolen

according to Cointelegraph, Mehdi Farooq, a partner at the crypto venture capital firm Hypersphere, said that after falling victim to a fake Zoom call phishing attack, his 6 wallet funds were stolen, and he lost years of savings. Mehdi Farooq revealed that the attack began with a message sent by Alex Lin on Telegram, whom he knew, and since they had interacted before, this contact seemed routine. The latter shared a meeting link, and after joining the scheduled Zoom meeting, he found no audio. Shortly after running an update, his system was hacked, and the hacker "drained his years of savings" in just a few minutes.
