Breaking news: A CoinDCX employee got arrested for a $44M crypto heist. Because nothing says ‘I’m a crypto genius’ like getting caught with a laptop and a part-time job. 🚨💸
Bengaluru cops nabbed Rahul Agarwal, a CoinDCX software engineer, after hackers supposedly stole his login credentials. Because who needs security when you can have a ‘part-time job’ and a laptop? 🤡💻
Neblio Technologies’ internal investigation found that Agarwal’s work laptop was the culprit. Because nothing says ‘I’m a cybersecurity expert’ like using your company-issued laptop for… *checks notes* part-time jobs. 🧠💼
Agarwal, 30, denied the theft but admitted to juggling four part-time clients. Because who needs sleep when you can have a crypto hack and a side hustle? 🤯💸
“Sophisticated social engineering attack”
CoinDCX won’t confirm or deny the arrest, citing an ongoing investigation. Because nothing says ‘we’re totally not hiding something’ like a cryptic X post. 🤷♂️🔐
Gupta called it a ‘sophisticated social engineering attack.’ Because nothing says ‘we’re tech-savvy’ like getting hacked through a work laptop. 🧠💻
CoinDCX’s spokesperson says: ‘Please don’t speculate, or we’ll have to investigate you too.’ Because that’s how we roll. 🚧🚫
Agarwal’s professional background
Bengaluru police say Agarwal was a permanent staff member with a company-issued laptop. Because nothing says ‘I’m a responsible employee’ like using it for a side hustle. 🧑💻💼
Neblio found out about the hack when a hacker transferred 1 USDT to a wallet. Then, boom, $44M vanished. Because who needs a plan when you can have a ‘small test’ first? 💸💥
Agarwal’s LinkedIn says he’s been in DevOps for two years. Because nothing says ‘I’m a DevOps expert’ like getting hacked through your work laptop. 🤡🔧
Started as a senior software engineer in 2023, then promoted to staff engineer in 2025. Because who needs a life when you can climb the corporate ladder and get hacked? 🚀💸
Police say hackers tricked Agarwal into installing malware. Because nothing says ‘I’m a tech genius’ like falling for a phishing email. 🤡📧
This all happened days after Gupta reported the hack. Because timing is everything, right? 🕒💸
Gupta said user funds are safe. Because who cares about the $44M when you can say ‘it’s not your money, it’s the exchange’s’? 💸💼
