According to Odaily, blockchain investigator ZachXBT has issued a warning on the X platform regarding the hacking of the social media account of crypto influencer The Cryptomist. The account, allegedly compromised by Russian hackers, has been disseminating false information to followers in an attempt to trick them into downloading malicious software through social engineering tactics.

ZachXBT noted that he typically does not report minor incidents of this nature. However, he decided to make an exception in this case due to his extensive interaction with The Cryptomist's compromised account, having engaged with it over 45 times. Additionally, he expressed concern that his own followers were nearly deceived by the fraudulent messages.
