Trader Harley Lewis Foote lost nearly all his funds after an attacker gained full remote access to his computer through a malicious WhatsApp payload that allegedly downloaded automatically without any user interaction. The hacker reportedly lurked for five days, monitoring Foote's publicly disclosed short position and closing the trade as Bitcoin approached $68,000.
The attacker then withdrew funds via Hyperliquid, MetaMask, and Tornado Cash, leaving Foote with only $800. The breach also compromised his email, passwords, website, and X account. Foote stated the hacker tested a $10 withdrawal beforehand to avoid detection, describing the loss as "years of savings and hard work."
