Police in Limassol are investigating a new case of large-scale cyber fraud following a complaint filed by a company director, after a significant number of cryptocurrencies were stolen from the firm’s account.
According to the complaint, a substantial volume of cryptocurrencies appears to have been unlawfully transferred from the company’s digital wallet.
Police said the incident was reported on 16 April 2026. On that date, company employees received an electronic message prompting them to follow a specific online link. One employee is believed to have clicked on the link, triggering a series of uncontrolled transfers of cryptocurrencies from the company’s wallet to unknown wallets.
In total, 176,580 cryptocurrencies were reportedly transferred from the company’s digital wallet.
The Economic Crime Investigation Office of the Limassol Criminal Investigation Department is handling the case.
In light of the incident, police have once again urged the public to exercise caution online and to avoid clicking on suspicious or unfamiliar links before verifying their origin.
