Orbiter Finance is currently being hacked by hackers on its official Twitter account and posting phishing links that cause users to lose their assets if they provide personal information.

A crypto phishing scam is a strategy used by fraudsters to steal sensitive information, such as the private key to your wallet. They do this by posing as a trustworthy company or individual and requesting personal information from you. The information you supply is then used to steal your digital assets.

Crypto phishing schemes operate in the same way as traditional phishing attempts do. The attackers often contact crypto holders through SMS, email, or phone, masquerading as a trustworthy source such as a cryptocurrency wallet service provider or exchange. Their message frequently includes an alarm that seems to need the user’s urgent attention.

Moreover, the mail contains a bogus link to a well-known firm. These URLs are intended to spread malware that aids cryptocurrency theft. If you click the link and input your private key or other information, it will be sent straight to the fraudsters.

According to Coincu’s tracking, Orbiter Finance’s Twitter account currently has nearly 322,000 followers, of which the tweet containing the phishing link has been viewed by nearly 40,000 people.

Currently, Orbiter’s account is still controlled by hackers and the tea, no further announcement has been made.

Previously, bad actors gained access to Orbiter Finance’s Discord channel and provided a link to a phony airdrop scheme. Members of the community were warned to take cautious and avoid clicking on any links published on the network. Pink Drainer, the hacker responsible for this breach, is a scammer who successfully penetrated the Discord server and staged a fraudulent operation that resulted in the loss of roughly $213,000.
