Because the crypto exchange announced at the beginning of October that at least 6,000 users of the platform had been victims of phishing attacks. That came from a Copy of a letter on the California Attorney General’s website that those concerned received. Accordingly, the users of their assets – in fiat and crypto currencies – were robbed between March and May 20 of this year.
