Ethereum Foundation Hack: Here's What Exactly Happened?
The Ethereum Foundation was subjected to a hack, which was confirmed by Tim Pico from the Ethereum Foundation, who indicated that the company’s official email had been hacked and multiple messages were sent to subscribers to the mailing list.
According to WuBlockchain, hackers were able to access and compromise email via SendPulse.
For now, users should avoid clicking on any type of link that they consider suspicious in the future.
Several suspicious emails sent from the official address update@ethereum.org led to the discovery of the hack.
These emails have been found to be fraudulent and contain malicious links that can harm recipients if they click on them.
Tim Biko alerted the public on the X platform, warning them to be careful and not click on any links or open any attachments from the hacked email.
The Ethereum Foundation uses SendPulse as its email service provider, and this is how the hackers gained access.
It appears that attackers exploited vulnerabilities in SendPulse to gain unauthorized access to the Ethereum Foundation mailing list and distribute phishing and scam emails.
Working with SendPulse to fix the issue and secure email communications is the current focus of the Ethereum Foundation.
To prevent this from happening again, they are also looking into the nature of the hack.
Beko posted a sample email to help users spot phishing scams.
Although these emails may appear genuine, they contain links that take users to malicious websites intended to infect computers with malware or steal personal and financial data.
Beware of these and similar messages, as they may cost dearly if care and caution are not taken into account when opening them and clicking on the links contained within them.
