Odaily News Last week, a scam targeting creditors of bankrupt crypto companies such as BlockFi and FTX resulted in the theft of at least $5 million worth of cryptocurrencies and NFTs. Security expert Plumferno said it was possible that hackers obtained the list of email addresses from data stolen from the original email service Mailer Lite, which was hacked in January. Most of the assets were stolen from dormant wallets from people who may have been affected by the BlockFi bankruptcy and have not touched the funds since, and some of these victims may not have known they were stolen. Blockchain data shows that nearly $4.5 million in Ethereum has flowed into hacker wallets since March 17. In addition, the wallet appears to have stolen and sold some high-value NFTs, including MAYC, Otherdeeds, and more. (The Block)
