Share

The US Department of Justice and the FBI seized the cloud infrastructure supporting FaceStealer, a social-engineering operation that primarily targeted crypto and Web3 workers. The campaign stole more than $400 million in digital assets over the past 18 months. Authorities also seized more than 900 secretly recorded videos used in fraudulent video-conferencing sessions designed to deceive victims. Separately, the Justice Department froze more than $1.2 billion in digital assets linked to North Korean actors and the Binance theft, which exceeded $6 billion in total. The $400 million attributed to FaceStealer is separate from the Binance incident.
