Organizers of Singapore crypto side event accused of pushing remote-access software on attendees
- —The event was held at The Singapore EDITION in early October 2026, capped at 200 attendees
- —Guests were promised a year of Sophos MDR protection with up to $1 million in breach coverage
- —Promotional materials listed speakers from Spartan Group, Bybit's security team and Singapore Police Cyber Command
- —As of October 12, 2026, no police report or victim losses have been confirmed
Why it matters: A scam dressed as anti-scam education undermines trust in TOKEN2049 side events and raises wallet-compromise risk for attendees.
