According to CoinMeta, and as reported by Hong Kong 01, the Hong Kong police have disclosed that in the past two weeks, they have received over 150 cases of WhatsApp account hijacking scams, involving more than 15 million Hong Kong dollars in total. In one case, a staff member of a cryptocurrency exchange company had their WhatsApp account hijacked. The scammer copied the name, profile picture, and member information of the real work group, created a fake group, and pretended to be a customer to make exchange requests, enticing the victim to transfer cryptocurrencies to a designated wallet. As a result, the company suffered losses of over 4 million Hong Kong dollars. The police are reminding users to enable two-factor authentication and to call the recipient to verify before confirming any transfers through WhatsApp.
