ZachXBT Traces $5M Crypto Thefts to US-Based Support Impersonation Scammer
Onchain investigator ZachXBT named a US-based threat actor, Tiffany Milanovich, who is tied to at least $5 million in crypto theft through fake support calls.
According to his findings, Milanovich worked as a "caller," phoning victims while posing as support staff and talking them into surrendering access to their funds. He said she recorded herself taunting victims after draining them.
How the Impersonation Scheme Worked
Milanovich worked as part of a group. As the caller, she impersonated the hardware wallet and centralized exchange support.
