The tactic is part of broader cryptocurrency-related fraud, where victims are lured into fake investment opportunities. No specific technical details, numbers, or dates were provided in the notice. The impact includes financial losses for victims due to the circumvention of banking security measures. The warning was published by Infosecurity Magazine.
