A professional angel investor in Singapore falls victim to a phishing scam, losing 100,000 yuan worth of cryptocurrency.

ChainCatcher News: Singaporean professional angel investor Mark Koh encountered a phishing scam while testing a online game, resulting in a loss of at least 100,000 yuan worth of cryptocurrency assets. Mark Koh is an early investor in the blockchain platform Polygon, focusing on Web3 since 2017. He saw a test post for the game project “MetaToy” in a Telegram group. A user claiming to be “Meta Team Co-founder” named Shanni contacted him, requesting him to download the game launcher. After downloading, malicious software stole his crypto wallet data. Despite conducting a full system scan and reinstalling the system, multiple crypto wallets connected to browser extensions remained emptied 24 hours later. He suspects that scammers used the name of a legitimate game project to embed malware on fake websites. It is reported that Mark Koh is a co-founder of “RektSurvivor,” an organization dedicated to helping cryptocurrency victims, but he himself became a victim. He reported the incident to authorities on the 12th and warned the public not to download software from unknown sources or share mnemonic phrases and two-factor authentication information.
