Canadian Woman Loses $1.3M Bitcoin in SIM-Swap Nightmare—Now She’s Fighting Back
Canadian Woman Loses $1.3M Bitcoin in SIM-Swap Nightmare—Now She’s Fighting Back

Another day, another crypto heist—except this one hits harder. A Canadian investor watched $1.3M in Bitcoin evaporate after hackers pulled off a flawless SIM-swap attack. No fancy tech, just old-school social engineering that bypassed every 'secure' protocol.
How? They hijacked her phone number, reset passwords, and drained her wallet before she could say 'decentralization.' Now she’s suing—because apparently, the 'future of money' still relies on 20th-century telecom vulnerabilities.
Funny how crypto’s 'bankless utopia' keeps getting wrecked by the same human weaknesses banks invented fraud departments to handle. Maybe Satoshi should’ve included a customer service hotline in the whitepaper.
