Background:
Mark (real name withheld), the head of a prominent decentralized exchange, fell victim to a sophisticated and targeted phishing attack that resulted in the loss of 180 Bitcoin, valued at $8.4 million at the time. As a key figure in the crypto industry, Mark became the prime target of a malicious campaign designed to exploit his position and access to valuable assets. The perpetrators, armed with intimate knowledge of Mark’s role and vulnerabilities, orchestrated an attack tailored to exploit his trust and authority within the exchange.
The Targeted Phishing Attack:
The perpetrators, recognizing the strategic importance of targeting a high-ranking individual within the decentralized exchange, researched Mark’s professional background, online presence, and personal habits to craft a highly personalized phishing campaign.

Through psychological coercion, the perpetrators successfully tricked Mark into divulging sensitive information, including his wallet's private key.
