The publication asked users to follow a link to authorize their wallet and take part in the distribution.
According to a pseudonymous crypto expert ZachXBTpreliminary damage is about $440,000. Scam Sniffer analysts notedthat only one of the scam victims lost $424,786 in altcoins.
At the time of writing on the alleged burglar's wallet contains $195,598 in assets.
The company did not comment on the situation. When preparing this material, the airdrop announcement was removed from the page.
Such cases occur quite often. Previously, attackers hacked the account of the Notcoin project. At the same time, an announcement about the distribution was also posted on the page.
The same thing happened with the Arkham CEO page, but in this case the fraudulent post was deleted almost immediately.
