After Buterin’s X account was taken over, the perpetrators pushed out a message promoting a fake NFT drop.
The scam stole $700,000 of crypto and NFTs from unsuspecting victims.Connect/Create WalletNo wallet? No problem. You can set one up for free. We recommend Torus for first-time users.Last night, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s X account was taken over and used to steal $700,000 in crypto and NFTs.
When the account was taken over, it was used to advertise a fake commemorative NFT mint that supposedly had a time limit, encouraging users to mint them quickly. Yet the link was to a phishing website that would drain cryptocurrencies and NFTs from wallets that interacted with it. Through this phishing attack, around $700,000 in crypto and NFTs were lost, according to estimates from crypto sleuth ZachXBT and on-chain data. This included one CryptoPunk NFT worth 153 ETH and hundreds of ether from multiple individuals.
