If you are leisurely scrolling through X and suddenly see Yat Siu, co-founder of Animoca Brands, post a message about a new token, you excitedly click on the link and prepare to snap up a wave. But do you know? This may be a carefully designed hacker trap!
That’s right, Yat Siu’s X account was hacked! This attack not only caused Yat Siu himself to suffer losses, but also caused countless fans who were looking forward to Animoca Brands to fall into confusion and panic. The hacker used Yat Siu’s account to post a message about fake tokens, inducing users to click on the link and make transactions.
Animoca Brands quickly issued a statement confirming that Yat Siu’s account had been hacked and warned users not to participate in any suspicious contracts or token transactions. But is this storm really that simple?
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT revealed a shocking news on X: Yat Siu is likely just one of the victims of a series of recent hacker attacks! These hackers have successfully controlled at least 15 X accounts through carefully designed phishing emails and social engineering methods, and defrauded a large amount of funds by publishing false token messages.
According to ZachXBT analysis, the fake tokens released by hackers using these accounts all came from the same address, and the fake MOCA token released on the Yat Siu account was no exception. This token reached a high price of $36,700 in a short period of time after its release, but then quickly collapsed and lost almost all its value.
This makes people wonder: What happened to our cybersecurity? Why can these hackers so easily break into the accounts of celebrities and use their influence to commit fraud?
In fact, what this reflects is not only the security issues of personal accounts, but also the severe challenges faced by the entire Web3 field. With the rapid development of blockchain and cryptocurrency, more and more people are pouring into this field, but it also brings more security risks and uncertainties.
Therefore, each of us should always be vigilant and strengthen our awareness of account security protection. Do not click on unknown links or download applications from unknown sources easily, and do not disclose personal information and account passwords at will. Only in this way can we gain a foothold and grow in this Web3 field full of opportunities and challenges.
Finally, let us hope that Animoca Brands and Yat Siu can get out of this storm as soon as possible and continue to bring us more high-quality projects and products. At the same time, we also hope that the relevant departments can increase their crackdown efforts and bring these hackers to justice!
