Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Trader Harley Foote said his computer was compromised by a malicious payload delivered via WhatsApp, with the attacker gaining device access and draining all but $800 of his funds. Foote said the attacker lurked for five days, monitored his public short positions, closed them when bitcoin traded near $68,000, then moved the funds through Hyperliquid and MetaMask into Tornado Cash. Passwords for his email, website and accounts including X were also accessed. The incident highlights the operational risk facing individual traders who manage positions on public venues and route assets across multiple chains and wallets. What to watch next is whether on-chain sleuths can trace the Tornado Cash flows and whether Foote recovers any of the funds.
