Did Vitalik Buterin’s X Account Get Hacked? 😧
#Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin's X account was allegedly #hacked , resulting in over $691,000 in losses due to a malicious link promoting a fake NFT.
The hack was confirmed by Dmitry Buterin, Vitalik's father, and victims were enticed to connect their wallets to claim a free NFT, only to have their funds stolen.
Prominent blockchain investigator #ZachXBT revealed the extent of the theft, with the most valuable NFT taken being worth over $250,000.
While some argue Vitalik's security measures were lacking, others suggest his high profile made him a target for various hacking attempts, including the possibility of an insider's involvement.
