FBI Warns of Account Hijackers Targeting NFT and Crypto Enthusiasts ✉️

The FBI issued a warning about criminals #hijacking social media accounts and posing as legitimate figures in the NFT and crypto space.

These fraudsters promote new NFT releases with urgent phrases and share #phishing links to spoofed websites. Victims are tricked into connecting their wallets to claim NFTs but end up losing their funds to drainer smart contracts.

Even without wallet connection, people have reported losing valuable NFTs due to spoofed websites, with #malware or hidden wallet links suspected as possible causes.

Google's search results also featured fake NFT marketplaces, aggravating the problem. The FBI urged vigilance and advised vetting websites before clicking on them to safeguard against such scams.
