Fraudsters are targeting cryptocurrency account holders with Bots designed to steal two-factor authentication tokens and steal money from the compromised accounts. The bots contact the victims on the premise that an unauthorized transaction is occurring within their account and providing the victim with steps to stop the transfer, which includes proving they are the account holder by providing their 2FA code.
