๐ The Shiba Inu community faces a serious threat as the project team issues a critical warning regarding a hack on one of its official Telegram administrator accounts.
๐ Shiba Inu marketing lead Lucie sounded the alarm, revealing the compromise of the Telรฉgram admin account belonging to Ragnar. The breached account was exploited to promote a fraudulent "limited" airdrop of Bone tokens from the Shiba Inu team treasury wallet.
โ ๏ธ Caution Advised:
The project leaders urgently urged the community to steer clear of any communications from the compromised admin account, emphasizing the potential risk of cryptocurrency asset theft.
๐จ Community Alert:
Prominent Shiba Inu members, including the influential Vetkusama, are actively warning users on social media platforms, specifically X. Holders are cautioned against clicking any links from the hacked Ragnar account, heightening the urgency for Shiba Inu to establish a dedicated cybersecurity team to fortify its official channels.
๐ Understanding Bone Tokens:
Bone serves as the governance and gas token for ShibaSwap and the Layer 2 blockchain, Shibarium. The scammers strategically targeted this token for the airdrop scam, capitalizing on its familiarity among the community.
๐ซ Beware of Scams:
Fake token giveaways and phishing attempts remain persistent threats in the cryptocurrency space. Users are reminded to exercise extreme caution, especially when confronted with offers that seem too good to be true.
๐ Responsible Communication:
Despite the breach, the Shiba Inu team's swift public disclosure demonstrated responsible communication, aiming to contain risks to the community. This incident underscores the imperative need for heightened vigilance in protecting official channels.
