Aptos Foundation’s Twitter Hacked And Posted A Scam Airdrop Link
Key Points:
- The official accounts of CEO Mo Shaikh and Aptos Foundation were both hacked early this morning.
- The guys advertised a fake airdrop afterward.
- Aptos Labs was quick to post a warning on Twitter, advising people not to engage with suspicious links.
The Twitter accounts (@Aptos_Network) of the Aptos Foundation and its CEO, Mo Shaikh, were both hacked early this morning. After attacking the official accounts, the scammers quickly advertised a fake airdrop.
Aptos Labs also posted a warning on Twitter, reminding users not to interact with links to fake websites. After checking, the latest tweet by @Aptos_Network was released on July 1st, and the suspected phishing link has been removed.
Aptos is a new and independent project that focuses on providing the most secure and available blockchain to a large number of users worldwide. Aptos promises to become a layer-1 blockchain, surpassing its two seniors, Ethereum and Solana.
With quality staff and huge funding from big investors, Aptos currently launches devnet and testnet versions, respectively, and has officially launched the Mainnet version right in October 2022. Previously, the project received the attention of large funds and poured capital of up to $350 million in 2022.
The project aims to bring adoption to web3 and empower the ecosystem of decentralized applications to solve real user problems. Blockchain Aptos can achieve theoretical transaction bandwidth above 150k TPS through parallel implementation. The APT token maintains the Aptos ecosystem.
Up to now, the Aptos blockchain has only conducted the only official airdrop in October 2022 with a huge reward of up to 1000-5000 USD for each participant. The new network only airdrops about 3% of the total 51% of APT tokens given to the community. That leaves up to 480 million $APT tokens that can be used for the next airdrop.
Taking advantage of the popularity of the network and the excitement of the community about rumors in June that the next airdrop was imminent, the scammers lured investors into fake links. Therefore, investors must be very alert to avoid falling into the trap.
