[ZachXBT: Canadian Hacker Impersonates Coinbase Customer Service, Steals Over $2 Million in Crypto Assets in One Year] According to market sources, a Canadian hacker named Haby (Havard) impersonated Coinbase customer service to commit social engineering fraud, stealing over $2 million in crypto assets in the past year. The hacker squandered the proceeds on rare social media usernames, nightclub spending, and gambling. Investigations revealed that Haby recently purchased expensive Telegram usernames and deleted his most recent account two days ago. Through open-source intelligence analysis of his social media story posts, investigators determined that Haby was located in Abbotsford, near Vancouver, Canada. ZachXBT stated that although Canadian law enforcement agencies may have been aware of Haby's existence, such cyber threat actors are rarely prosecuted in the region.
