    What a wild read.

    I want to know how they found the victims.

    What leak did they use? Or are these famous crypto social media influencers?

      They got access to the email accounts so credential stuffing and checking which emails had crypto if i had to guess.

      Some additional reading here: https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/man-convicted-violent-home-invasion-robberies-steal-cryptocurrency

      Though there have been crypto companies with data breaches, like coinbase, so they could’ve always specifically targeted people who were known to have crypto from such leaks.
