🚨💥 Attackers impersonated a16z executives!
The fraud was exposed, and $245,000 was lost! 😱
🔍 According to the latest report from ZachXBT, an attacker actually stole the identity of Peter Lauten of a16z to commit fraud! The original Peter Lauten changed his Twitter username from "peter_lauten" to "lauten" at some point, and the attacker registered his old username. The problem is that the a16z official website still links to the old username, and some social media posts have not been updated, making it difficult for victims to distinguish the authenticity.
🕵️♂️ The truth is revealed: victims were tricked into downloading a fake conference app called "Vortax", which turned out to be malware! One user lost up to $245,000, warning the global community to be vigilant against this carefully planned online fraud!
