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.

5 man and 1 woman got arrested with warrant by the policeman at their homes Charlcombe, Lower Weston, and Staverton (UK), and Amsterdam and Rotterdam (Netherlands). They are really proffesional on accessing others account, there are many affected at least 4,000 victims in 12 countries and it still growing.

“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.”

Good thing is that, they had already caught those six people because if that thing does not happen, the number of being affected by the scam will grow continuously. That is how expert hackers and scammers are.

So always be careful when visiting and trying some unfamiliar websites, always do research about it and read some reviews to assure yourself that it is legit.

Illegal acts such as this, make us vulnerable everyday. It’s a good thing that the government of Netherlands is capable of tracing hackers and scammers such as this and I command their government. This just shows that we need to be careful everyday, make sure we change our passwords from time to time and make very strong passwords that are not easily guessed. This is another reason why we cannot be fully dependent on bitcoins because of incidents like this. One cannot relay all of their money to bitcoins. What if one day, for unfortunate reasons, your account was hacked and your government cannot trace the people who did it. You are left without anything. Let us all be careful everyday when going through transactions and let us make sure that we take all necessary precautions to secure our accounts.

hello, this is great news for us cryptocurrency investors, a big round of applause for how they conducted the investigations that it was not easy to find them. I remain strongly convinced that the use of bookmarks is increasingly recommended and also the change of password from time to time with others that are always stronger
