Blockchain investigator ZachXBT reports that Canadian threat actor 'Haby' used Coinbase support impersonation to steal funds later spent on luxury usernames, clubs, and gambling in the Vancouver area.
On Dec. 30, ZachXBT identified Canadian hacker 'Haby' as responsible for stealing over $2 million in cryptocurrency in the past year by posing as Coinbase customer support. The blockchain investigator traced the stolen funds to purchases of rare social media usernames, club-related expenses, and gambling activities. 'Haby' is suspected to be located near Abbotsford, Vancouver. Previous findings linked him to thefts of 21,000 XRP worth approximately $44,000 and multiple incidents affecting at least five Coinbase users, with losses exceeding $1.06 million. On-chain analysis connected his BTC address, and his Telegram and email accounts were exposed.
