The attackers, known by their aliases Greavys, Wiz, and Box, used a combination of social engineering and technical expertise to execute the fraud.<\/p>\n

The operation began with the hackers impersonating<\/a><\/strong> Google Support via a deceptive phone call, which helped them gain the victim\u2019s trust. They then pretended to be Gemini Support to convince the victim their account was compromised. This manipulation led the victim to change their two-factor authentication settings and transfer funds to the hackers\u2019 wallet.<\/p>\n

The criminals continued their deceit by persuading the victim to install AnyDesk, a remote desktop application. This allowed them to obtain the victim\u2019s private keys and access the $243 million in digital assets.<\/p>\n
