Ouch. That must have really hurt when it happened.
It was a pretty sophisticated attack. He was called on this phone, and the hacker was able to spoof the caller ID or at least the number the call was coming from to be that of a Apple’s online store, if I read the article correctly. That’s not easy to do. Could he have been targeted or did they get lucky with the amount of money he had in this crypto wallet? Hard to say.
