That's good news, thieves can be caught too, even though it's very difficult to catch hackers. We must be more careful in maintaining our account. Use a second password like Google Authenticator. This can be a lesson for bitcoiners.
I was actually surprised the person was caught and this simply shows this person is probably just learning and was not able to cover her tracks well which I know a lot of hackers are always fond of doing. Nonetheless, it is a good thing this lady was caught and hopefully will end up facing justice. Still, this does not change the fact that people need to always take security seriously, like their life depends on it actually. At this day and age, it is always absurd to see people still making use of abc123 as their password, and that makes me wonder, the world some people are still living in.
When the man checked his account after re-gaining access, he found that his cryptocurrency account was also compromised, leaving almost zero balance in the account.
At this stage, people really need to take security extremely seriously when it comes to cryptocurrency activities, knowing for a fact that there are so many people who are trying to reap where they never sowed and they are ready to wipe it all out. It is even a good thing that the culprit was found and arrested, and in this case, this must have been a learner. Sometimes for most hackers, you will really not even be able to get a chance at all to know who is behind the curtain, let alone get your money back or get the culprit arrested.
