🚨Crypto news alert!🚨 Sam Kazemian, founder of Frax Finance, has pointed the finger at an inside job for the recent hack of the project's official account. The breach occurred on June 1, leaving the decentralized stablecoin protocol FRAX USD in the lurch. 😱
In a Telegram post, Kazemian claimed that the Frax Finance team is "reasonably sure" they've identified the culprit, a "serial scammer" known to blockchain investigator ZachXBT. "This was an inside job," Kazemian stressed, adding that the breach was not due to any security flaws or phishing attacks. 🕵️♂️
The drama unfolded when the Frax Finance account was compromised. Kazemian urgently reached out to his followers, seeking assistance to contact the platform's customer service. However, he claimed that the passwords were not tampered with and there were no internal security issues within Frax Finance that could have led to the breach. Instead, he pointed to potential social engineering and insider involvement. 😲
As of now, the account remains active but no new posts have been visible since the hack. Neither the platform nor its CEO, Elon Musk, has made any official comments addressing the breach. 🤐
This incident is the latest in a series of hacks targeting crypto projects, allegedly attributed to insider actions. In late May, a crypto trader reported a similar compromise of his account, suggesting that the attackers took control of his account through bribery and used it to promote a pump-and-dump scheme. 📉
