A U.K. man pleaded guilty in the United States to a hacking scheme that stole about $8 million from cryptocurrency accounts. Authorities say the man admitted participating in a coordinated effort to access and drain U.S.-based digital wallets. He has entered a plea and is expected to face sentencing in U.S. court under federal charges tied to the theft. Prosecutors framed the case as part of wider efforts to hold transnational cybercriminals accountable for attacks on the crypto industry.
