on Friday that their entire wallet containing $650,000 worth of digital assets and nonfungible tokens was wiped via this specific security issue.
In a separate thread earlier today, DAPE NFT project founder “Serpent” — who also helped gain the attention of MetaMask via posting sharing the story with their 277,000 followers — gave a rundown of what happened to the victim. They noted that the victim received multiple text messages asking to reset his Apple ID password along with a supposed call from Apple which was ultimately a spoofed caller ID.
As they were reportedly unsuspecting of the caller, “revive_dom” handed over a six-digit verification code to prove that they were the owner of the Apple account. The scammers subsequently hung up and accessed his MetaMask account via data stored on iCloud.- Never give out verification codes to ANYONE- Caller information is easy to spoof. Companies like Apple will never call you
