A recent Canadian hacker was exposed for conducting social engineering scams by impersonating customer service staff of a leading compliant platform. According to on-chain security analysis, this threat actor has stolen over $2 million worth of crypto assets in the past 12 months through this method.

What’s more concerning is their spending habits—rare social media usernames, nightlife expenses, gambling bets, and even frequent high-priced purchases of Telegram premium numbers. This behavioral pattern itself leaves obvious on-chain traces.

Latest intelligence indicates that the account suddenly deleted recent transaction records two days ago, suspected to have detected being tracked. Security researchers have further confirmed the identity information through open-source intelligence (OSINT) techniques. This case once again reminds users: beware of any behavior where someone contacts you proactively in the name of the official platform, requesting verification information or authorization for operations.
