⚠️ Urgent Security Warning: Sophisticated Phishing Attack on Crypto Community

TL;DR: A sophisticated phishing campaign is targeting crypto users via deepfake Zoom/Teams calls that impersonate trusted contacts and trick victims into installing a malicious “audio plugin,” giving attackers full system access to steal crypto and hijack accounts. Avoid all unverified Zoom/Teams invites (even from known contacts), treat Telegram messages as untrusted, verify communications independently, and use safer alternatives like Signal, Jitsi, or Google Meet.
