I've seen Youtube videos about call centers located in India,that are acting as a "tech support" and manipulating their victims into downloading remote access software like Teamviewer and gaining access to the victim's desktop.From there,they just login into the victim's bank account and steal everything.
Hacking corporations has a different tactic,but those hackers get very advanced.
The weak spot of every technology is actually the human factor.If the human factor is reduced(like in blockchain technology)the weak spots are way less and the system is harder to get penetrated.
Crypto trading platforms are still centralized,which means that the human factor still play a huge role.
That is why social engineering type of hacking do exist because we know that humans can really be easily be deceived nor be fooled and that what most hackers trying to
do when they can brute force a security system and with this they can still have the chance on accessing or having backdoor due to careless move by a certain person or employee on a
specific company/organization etc.
Hackers would always exist thats why we should really be serious in terms of security.They are always one step ahead and do also continue to advance in talks
of penetrating or hacking into their targets.
