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.
