The official Twitter account of Indian crypto exchange CoinDCX has been hacked and used by attackers to post fake XRP promotions with phishing links.
In response to the hack, CoinDCX’s official customer support warned users to ignore the promotional calls in the compromised exchange account and not click on any links or messages about the XPR free giveaway.

The support service reports that it is working on restoring access to the exchange account and promises to notify users of its elimination. The exchange’s official Twitter account had 230,000 followers.
So far, data on the loss of funds among CoinDCX clients has not been received.
The official accounts of public companies are increasingly being targeted by hackers because they not only inspire trust but also provide easy access to a wide audience. In September, hackers gained unauthorized access to the Twitter account of a subsidiary of one of the Big Four accounting firms, PwC Venezuela. The account was filled with phishing links and fake XRP giveaway ads.
