Six people were arrested in the Netherlands and the UK over a $27 million "typosquatting" scam, which involved making a fake website to gain access to user Bitcoin wallets.
A group of scammers (hackers) who born to live with illegal earning. Impressive investigation by UK & Dutch police and they got their success after a long investigation process. This strict attempt will definitely bring some relief for worldwide crypto users and specially for them who are relatively new in this field.       


“The investigation relates to typosquatting, where a well-known online cryptocurrency exchange was ‘spoofed’ – or recreated to imitate the genuine site – to gain access to victims’ Bitcoin wallets, stealing their funds and login details.”

Every time these scammers mislead people by using well reputated exchange, wallet or other crypto related projects reputation. Specially similar looking phishing website is their real weapon. In most cases they make entry to users wallet through multiple phishing sites. Although people are getting aware about phishing websites but still many of us are not enough careful during web surfing.
