Crypto.com Hack

In January, Crypto.com confirmed 483 of its users were hit in a hack, leading to unauthorized withdrawals of bitcoin and Ether worth $35 million. The company had initially said $15 million was taken in the heist.

“There are a number of cryptocurrency-related hacks, but the Crypto.com one was interesting in that it’s one of the bigger exchange shares or wallets out there,” Nachreiner said. “For a period of time, these threat actors were able to slowly steal cryptocurrency from some of the wallets of customers that are on Crypto.com. And it was also kind of interesting that there was two-factor authentication (2FA) on Crypto.com as well, and using similar things like that session cookie, they were able to bypass the 2FA.”
