According to Bitcoin News, on November 14, trader Harley Lewis Foote revealed he lost nearly all his funds after an attacker gained full remote access to his computer via a malicious WhatsApp payload that downloaded automatically without user interaction. The attacker lurked for five days monitoring Foote's publicly disclosed short positions, then closed the trades when Bitcoin approached $68,000 and extracted his funds through Hyperliquid, MetaMask, and Tornado Cash, leaving him with just $800.
