Singapore Investor Loses $14,189 to #GameMalware


A Singapore entrepreneur lost his entire #cryptocurrency portfolio after downloading malware disguised as a beta testing opportunity for an online game called MetaToy. Mark Koh, founder of victim-support organization RektSurvivor, detailed the Dec. 5 incident that drained eight years of accumulated assets.


Koh discovered the MetaToy beta testing opportunity through Telegram channels. The professional appearance of the project's website and Discord server, combined with responsive team members, convinced him the game was legitimate.


His Norton antivirus flagged suspicious activity after downloading the game launcher. Koh ran full system scans, deleted suspicious files and registries, and reinstalled Windows 11 in response to the warnings.


Every software wallet connected to his #Rabby and #Phantom browser extensions was emptied within 24 hours despite the security measures. The attack drained $14,189 across separate wallets with different seed phrases that were not saved digitally.
