[Increase in Scam Calls Impersonating Crypto Platform Customer Service After Data Breaches in France]
Odaily Planet Daily News: Owen Simonin, founder and CEO of the French crypto platform Meria, stated that following several recent data breaches in France, there has been an increase in scam calls impersonating customer service representatives from legitimate platforms such as Binance and Meria. Scammers falsely claim that users' accounts or funds are at risk, attempting to lure them into urgently transferring crypto assets to designated addresses. Simonin emphasized that platforms will not request transactions or personal information unless users initiate contact. In August, the French Public Finance Directorate (DGFiP) disclosed a data breach incident that allowed hackers to obtain the data of 678,000 taxpayers. (Bitcoin.com News)
