退休的藝術家損失了超過200萬美元的加密貨幣，涉及某人作為共同支持代表的人

現年67歲的蘇曼（Suman）在藝術界擔任製造商近二十年，幫助建立了諸如傑夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）的氣球狗雕塑之類的備受矚目的作品

A retired artist who lost over $2 million in cryptocurrency earlier this year after falling victim to a scam involving someone posing as a Coinbase support representative has spoken out about his ordeal.

一位退休的藝術家在今年早些時候損失了超過200萬美元的加密貨幣，因為他們陷入了騙局的受害者，涉及一個冒充的人作為Coinbase Support代表代表的人就他的磨難發表了說法。

Ed Suman, 67, spent nearly two decades as a fabricator in the art world, helping build high-profile works such as Jeff Koons’ Balloon Dog sculptures, according to a May 17 report by Bloomberg.

據彭博社5月17日報導，現年67歲的埃德·蘇曼（Ed Suman）在藝術界擔任製造商近二十年，幫助建造了傑夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）的氣球狗雕塑等備受矚目的作品。

After retiring, he turned to cryptocurrency investing, eventually accumulating 17.5 Bitcoin (BTC) and 225 Ether (ETH) — a portfolio that comprised most of his retirement savings.

退休後，他轉向加密貨幣投資，最終積累了17.5比特幣（BTC）和225 Ether（ETH），這是他大部分退休儲蓄的投資組合。

He stored the funds in a Trezor Model One, a hardware wallet commonly used by crypto holders to avoid the risks of exchange hacks. But in March, Suman received a text message appearing to be from Coinbase, warning him of unauthorized account access.

他將資金存儲在Trezor Model One中，這是加密貨幣持有者通常使用的硬件錢包，以避免交換黑客的風險。但是在三月份，蘇曼收到了一條短信，似乎來自Coinbase，警告他未經授權的帳戶訪問。

After responding, he got a phone call from a man identifying himself as a Coinbase security staffer named Brett Miller. The caller appeared knowledgeable, correctly stating that Suman’s funds were stored in a hardware wallet.

回應後，他接到一個男子的電話，將自己識別為一個名叫布雷特·米勒（Brett Miller）的Coinbase安全人員。呼叫者顯得有知識淵博，正確地指出，蘇曼的資金存儲在硬件錢包中。

He then convinced Suman that his wallet could still be vulnerable and walked him through a “security procedure” that involved entering his seed phrase into a website mimicking Coinbase’s interface.

然後，他說服蘇曼（Suman），他的錢包仍然很脆弱，並帶領他完成了“安全程序”，其中涉及將他的種子短語進入模仿Coinbase界面的網站。

Nine days later, a second caller claiming to be from Coinbase repeated the process. By the end of that call, all of Suman’s crypto holdings were gone.

九天后，第二個聲稱來自Coinbase的呼叫者重複了這一過程。到那次電話結束時，蘇曼的所有加密貨幣控股都消失了。

The scam followed a data breach at Coinbase disclosed this week, in which attackers bribed customer support staff in India to access sensitive user information.

受影響的人包括風險資本家Botha，紅杉資本的執行合夥人。沒有跡象表明他的資金已被訪問，博塔拒絕發表評論。

Coinbase’s chief security officer, Philip Martin, reportedly said the contracted customer service agents at the center of the controversy were based in India and had been fired following the breach.

據報導，Coinbase的首席安全官菲利普·馬丁（Philip Martin）表示，爭議中心的合同客戶服務人員位於印度，並在違規後被解僱。
