Crimes involving cryptocurrencies become more and more common. There are several cases of hundreds of investors who have lost everything after having their data stolen by criminals.

Criminals cloned chips to gain access to digital wallets
According to the Chicago Sun Times, two suspects are from the United States. The criminals lived in Dolton and Bloomington, two cities located in Illinois. The attack happened after the criminals had access to the victims' phone. In several cases the number was cloned, as it had access to the victims' wallets. That being the case, hackers were able to steal $ 3.3 million.
After cloning the victims' phone numbers, criminals were able to access data from digital wallets. Thus, thousands of criptomoedas were stolen from various people. The entire attack began through a conversation between Call of Duty players. It was through the game that the criminals met and planned the attack against smarptohones chips.
FBI is involved in the case and investigates American players
The news about the theft was disclosed after the FBI conducted search and seizure in the cities where the two players live. One of the criminals reported that the group met through Call of Duty. The gang managed to steal several criptomoedas, which totaled $ 3.3 million. Only in REP did the gang manage to steal $ 805,000.
