According to Cryptonews, police in Seoul, South Korea, have arrested and charged a 30-year-old man after officers found evidence that he may have stolen some $660,000 worth of crypto using data he harvested from a popular social media network. The man appears to have obtained a large cache of personal data – including what appears to have been crypto wallet and exchange login details – that was leaked onto a channel on Naver Band, a group chat service provided by the internet giant Naver. Officers said the man is thought to have stolen tokens from some 90 individuals, with one losing more than $400,000.
