According to on-chain data analyst @EmberCN, a Kraken user appears to have fallen victim to a social engineering attack, resulting in the theft of 8,662 ETH (valued at approximately $18.19 million). The attacker has already begun moving the assets, having swapped 878 ETH (approximately $17.8 million) for 26.5 BTC via THORChain’s cross-chain bridge. This incident underscores the significant threat social engineering attacks pose to personal asset security. Users are advised to remain vigilant and strengthen wallet and account security measures.
