退休的藝術家損失了超過200萬美元的加密貨幣，涉及一個擺姿勢作為共同支持的人的騙局

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。

A retired artist who previously helped build Jeff Koons sculptures has lost more than $2 million in cryptocurrency after falling victim to a scam earlier this year.

一位退休的藝術家以前曾幫助建造傑夫·昆斯（Jeff Koons）雕塑，在今年早些時候陷入騙局的受害者之後，損失了超過200萬美元的加密貨幣。

Ed Suman, 67, also fabricated works by other prominent art-world figures during a career that spanned nearly two decades. After retiring, he turned to cryptocurrency investing.

現年67歲的埃德·蘇曼（Ed Suman）在跨越近二十年的職業生涯中還製作了其他著名藝術世界人物的作品。退休後，他轉向加密貨幣投資。

Suman’s interest in the crypto space began after his brother introduced him to Bitcoin (BTC) in 2014. He gradually began buying crypto, eventually accumulating 17.5 BTC and 225 Ether (ETH).

蘇曼（Suman）對加密貨幣空間的興趣始於他的兄弟於2014年向他介紹比特幣（BTC）。他逐漸開始購買加密貨幣，最終積累了17.5 BTC和225 Ether（ETH）。

The majority of Suman’s retirement savings were tied up in his crypto portfolio, which he stored in a Trezor Model One hardware wallet.

蘇曼（Suman）的大部分退休儲蓄都被捆綁在他的加密產品組合中，他將其存儲在Trezor Model One硬件錢包中。

March brought a text message that appeared to be from Coinbase, warning Suman of unauthorized account access. He responded, and soon after received a phone call from a man claiming to be a Coinbase security staffer named Brett Miller.

3月帶來了一條短信，該消息似乎來自Coinbase，警告未經授權的帳戶訪問的Suman。他回應了，不久之後，他接到一名聲稱是一個名叫布雷特·米勒（Brett Miller）的共同安全人員的電話。

The caller appeared knowledgeable, correctly stating that Suman’s funds were stored in a hardware wallet and that his family members’ names were on his Coinbase account.

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，他的家人的名字在他的Coinbase帳戶上。

But he added that hardware wallets could still be vulnerable and induced Suman to cooperate with a “security procedure.” This involved entering his seed phrase into a website mimicking Coinbase’s interface.

但是他補充說，硬件錢包仍然可能是脆弱的，並引起了Suman與“安全程序”合作。這涉及將他的種子短語進入模仿Coinbase界面的網站。

Over the course of nine days in March, Suman received a total of three calls from numbers that appeared to belong to Coinbase.

在三月份的九天中，蘇曼總共收到了似乎屬於Coinbase的電話的三個電話。

During the third and final call, a second caller, who also claimed to be a Coinbase security staffer, again convinced Suman to enter his seed phrase into the fake Coinbase interface.

在第三個也是最後一個電話中，第二個聲稱是共同安全人員的第二個來電者再次說服了蘇曼將他的種子短語輸入偽造的coinbase界面。

By the end of that call, all of Suman’s crypto holdings were gone.

到那次電話結束時，蘇曼的所有加密貨幣控股都消失了。

Coinbase suffers major data breach

The scam follows a data breach at Coinbase that was disclosed this week.
