The FBI just revealed how federal authorities seized more than $1.2 billion in stolen digital assets.
They also seized the cloud servers used in the social-engineering scheme called "FaceStealer," which was used to steal more than $400 million over 18 months.
They faked video calls and used deepfakes to convince people to install malware, letting them grab access to digital wallets and sensitive information.
Investigators find over 900 victim videos
Investigators found more than 900 victim videos, showing just how far the scam reached. The hackers moved stolen funds through cryptocurrency bridges, mixers and exchanges.
The hackers also targeted open-source software developers for bigger attacks.
On Oct. 29, a North Korean hacking group known as TraderTraitor carried out the $6.3 billion hack of Binance wallets.
Authorities have managed to freeze more than $2.7 billion so far and are working to recover more as they continue tracing the stolen funds through these cybercrime networks.
