The B.C. Securities Commission says a two-day operation to identify victims of a specific type of cryptocurrency fraud has found 89 people who were drained of more than $4 million in assets.

The commission says the operation targeted so-called “approval phishing” where victims were tricked into giving criminals access to their cryptocurrency wallets, without them knowing they were being robbed.
