On September 19, blockchain security firm PeckShield reported the hack of Decentraland's official X account. Attackers are circulating a phishing link disguised as a MANA token airdrop, redirecting users to a fraudulent website.
Decentraland Account Hacked
PeckShield has warned users about the hack of the X account @decentraland. Attackers are distributing a phishing link that redirects to a fraudulent site, prompting users to connect their wallets to claim the MANA airdrop, resulting in compromised funds.
Social Media Security Issue
Recent incidents show an increasing frequency of social media account hacks. Luigi D'Onorio DeMeo, Chief Operating Officer of Ava Labs, faced a similar issue. Hackers took over his Twitter account, promoting a new Pokémon-themed memecoin and posting dubious airdrop links.
Warnings and Recommendations
PeckShield has issued a warning advising users to avoid interacting with the compromised Decentraland account. They recommend not clicking links or engaging with related posts until further official announcements from Decentraland confirm the restoration of account security.
Social media account hacks are becoming increasingly common, necessitating greater user vigilance. Users are advised to follow expert warnings and wait for official statements to prevent potential losses.
