Odaily Planet Daily reports that Mark Koh, a Web3 angel investor in Singapore, inadvertently downloaded a game launcher containing malware while testing an online game, resulting in the theft of at least S$100,000 worth of cryptocurrency assets from his e-wallet. Koh stated that the attack was not a simple phishing click, but rather a credential theft at the operating system level, which could not be prevented even with strong passwords and two-factor authentication. He has filed a police report and urged the public not to download software from unknown sources, not to disclose mnemonic phrases, and not to store all assets in a single wallet. (Lianhe Zaobao)
