A user had $27 million in crypto assets stolen, suspected victim of a computer virus attack
BlockBeats News, December 5th: Crypto community user Babur claimed that their $27 million worth of cryptocurrency assets were stolen. SlowMist founder Cai Yunge analyzed this case and stated, "Babur's computer was hit by a hacker's trojan horse (the automatic download of the file was not the key issue, the key was that Babur double-clicked to run it, infecting the computer, leaking the private key, including two Safe multi-signature keys).
As far as I know, currently, there have been no trojan attacks targeting iPhones (especially extracting the private key stored locally in a wallet app on iOS). So I suspect that both private keys of Safe may either exist on the target computer or be accessible. Due to limited information, these are speculations. The key point is: a real trojan attack is probably very simple, without much advanced skill, so everyone need not be nervous."
