Mark Cuban Loses $860,000 of Crypto to Phishing Attack

Mark Cuban, billionaire entrepreneur and owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has lost $860,000 in cryptocurrency to a phishing attack.

Cuban revealed the news on Twitter, saying that he had been tricked into clicking on a link in a fake email that appeared to be from a legitimate cryptocurrency exchange.
