Fraudulent withdrawals refer to unauthorized transfers of funds or digital assets from an account, typically initiated through deceptive means. These illicit transactions often result from compromised security credentials, phishing attacks, or direct exploitation of system vulnerabilities. Perpetrators aim to misappropriate assets without the account holder’s consent, leading to financial loss. Such incidents highlight critical security weaknesses in custodial services or individual user practices.
