The North Wales Police Cybercrime Unit is investigating a targeted scam in which fraudsters posing as senior law enforcement officers used fear and urgent pressure to lure victims through phishing sites to log into cold wallets and leak mnemonic words, thus stealing about $2.80 million (£2.10 million) worth of bitcoins. The case reflects the rise of high-level social fraud against long-term coin holders, and law enforcement once again reminds: Be sure to verify the authenticity of any calls or information claiming to be law enforcement.
