ZachXBT: Hacker "Haby" impersonated Coinbase customer service and stole over $2 million in one year.

According to Odaily Planet Daily, ZachXBT, a "chain detective," revealed on the X platform that a Canadian cyber threat actor named Haby (Havard) stole over $2 million in crypto assets in the past year by impersonating Coinbase customer service and using social engineering scams. The hacker squandered the proceeds on rare social media usernames, nightclub spending, and gambling.

A ZachXBT investigation revealed that Haby had recently been frequently purchasing expensive Telegram usernames and deleted his most recent account two days prior. Through open-source intelligence analysis of his social media story posts, investigators determined that Haby was located in Abbotsford, near Vancouver, Canada. ZachXBT stated that although Canadian law enforcement agencies may have been aware of Haby's existence, such cyber threat actors are rarely prosecuted in the region.
