📖 About Undermined
Undermined is more than just a recounting of a cybercrime; it’s a deep dive into the vulnerabilities of our digital age. The memoir chronicles my journey from a tech-savvy engineer and crypto miner to becoming a victim of a sophisticated SIM swap attack that resulted in the loss of over 500 Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, valued at $31.5 million at the time. The BlockHash podcast offered a unique platform to discuss this experience.
