The Shiba Inu team has issued a crucial warning to its dedicated community, urging caution against clicking on links promising unexpected rewards from prominent accounts. Lucie, a member of the Shiba Inu team, shared a Twitter Warning Update, advising users to steer clear of links shared by prominent accounts, as these could be from hacked sources. She emphasizes the risk of connecting wallets to such websites and urges users to exercise caution.
This warning comes in response to a series of hacking incidents targeting notable figures and projects within the Shiba Inu ecosystem. Lucie specifically highlights an incident involving the Mantra protocol, an NFT marketplace on Shibarium, whose X account is suspected of being compromised. She advises the community to refrain from interacting with the Mantra Protocol's X handle until further notice, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing safety.
Lucie underscores the need for vigilance and skepticism, particularly when encountering offers that appear too good to be true. Shiba Inu users are encouraged to verify sources and avoid engaging with any suspicious content, regardless of how tempting the offer may seem.
In more positive news for the Shiba Inu community, Shib Names have officially launched for public access, opening up opportunities for everyone. Additionally, D3, an official identity service for Web3 communities and a partner of Shiba Inu, hints at exciting developments in the coming weeks. These include the introduction of wallet mapping and the launch of the D3 Marketplace, providing users with the ability to buy, sell, and make offers on $SHIB Names.
