According to Finance Feeds, monitoring by Specter Analyst shows that a high-net-worth investor was allegedly subjected to violent coercion, resulting in the loss of approximately $6.7 million in crypto assets. The attacker forced the victim to withdraw 1,554 Ethereum and 10.5 Bitcoin from an exchange, as well as 34.1 cbBTC from another exchange. More than $5.3 million was transferred to the Tornado Cash mixer. Specter Analyst noted that despite biometric and multi-factor authentication, human factors remain the main vulnerability.
