Hackers Steal $448K in Crypto From Cyprus Investor’s Wallet

Authorities in Cyprus are investigating a recent crypto breach that has raised serious investor concerns and highlighted growing security vulnerabilities. Hackers stole $448,000 in digital assets from a 48-year-old man after breaching his email and draining his crypto wallet. 

According to Cyprus Mail, the cybercriminals breached the victim’s email on June 11 and discovered his digital wallet’s password. The attackers then quickly accessed the wallet and transferred €381,653 worth of assets to another account.

The victim officially filed the complaint with the Cyprus police’s cybercrime subdivision on July 26. But due to blockchain’s anonymity of transactions, authorities cautioned that it would be very difficult to recover the stolen money.

The Cyprus police have urged crypto users to step up their security measures right away. They have recommended using reliable platforms that offer two-factor authentication and secure wallets equipped with advanced features.

In addition, they have suggested the creation of unique and complex passwords for each account. Officials also cautioned users to avoid any suspicious links or apps that might lead to phishing scams. The public is being contacted for any information as the inquiry continues.

Crypto Hacks Reach Record Losses in 2025

The Cyprus case adds to an alarming rise in crypto-related crimes this year. Hacken has revealed that in 2025, the industry took a massive hit, losing $3.1 billion to hacks and scams. 

This amount already exceeds last year’s loss of $2.85 billion by more than 6%. And 59% of the stolen funds, which adds up to $1.83 billion, came from access-control failures across both DeFi and CeFi platforms.

More recently, on YouTube, scammers posing as Ripple tried to defraud unsuspecting users. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, stated on X that the company was actively prosecuting scammers. This came after an earlier 2021 case by Ripple against YouTube for impersonation fraud that was settled amicably.

Mengupas Upaya Pemulihan Jangka Pendek Bitcoin dan Hal yang Perlu Diwaspadai

Pada 3 Juli, Bitcoin (BTC) berusaha mendekati level $63K namun gagal menembusnya. Pemulihan dari $58,5K di awal bulan tampak berlanjut, menyebabkan likuidasi posisi short mencapai $143 juta. Aliran keluar ETF spot yang besar mengindikasikan bahwa pemegang aset yang lemah mungkin telah meninggalkan pasar, sehingga pergerakan ini berpotensi menjadi pembalikan bullish, bukan sekadar short squeeze. Namun, pemulihan terhambat oleh persediaan (supply) besar di level $64K dan $67K, di mana banyak investor membeli BTC. Level $72,3K dan $77,2K juga memiliki persediaan signifikan. Jika harga naik, investor yang membeli di level-level ini mungkin akan menjual untuk impas, membatasi momentum kenaikan jangka pendek. Secara teknis, struktur harga BTC tetap bearish, meskipun pantulan ke $65,2K mungkin terjadi berdasarkan level Fibonacci. Sinyal volatilitas besar muncul dari peningkatan tajam aliran masuk BTC ke bursa akhir Juni, yang juga terlihat di Ethereum dan aset kripto lainnya. Indikator seperti aliran ETF yang negatif, penurunan permintaan, dan Coinbase Premium Index negatif mengisyaratkan kurangnya tekanan beli. Nilai MVRV pemegang jangka panjang (LTH) berada di 1,26, menunjukkan mereka masih untung rata-rata. Namun, dalam siklus Bitcoin sebelumnya, titik terendah pasar biasanya ditandai dengan keputusasaan LTH (MVRV di bawah 1). Dengan kondisi likuiditas saat ini, pergerakan harga yang menentukan diperkirakan akan segera terjadi.
