BREAKING: Cointelegraph Website Compromised—Fake Phishing Airdrop Alert
BREAKING: Cointelegraph Website Compromised—Fake Phishing Airdrop Alert
13
1
Crypto news giant Cointelegraph faced a front-end exploit today, with attackers hijacking its platform to push a fraudulent phishing airdrop. The pop-up—designed to mimic legitimate crypto giveaways—appeared without warning, targeting unsuspecting visitors.
How it happened: Hackers bypassed security protocols to inject malicious code, turning a trusted news source into a trap. No word yet on whether user wallets were drained—but let’s be real, in crypto, ‘free money’ is usually a scam wrapped in a red flag.
Stay sharp: Always verify airdrops directly via project channels. And remember: if it looks too good to be true, it’s probably a dev rug-pull in disguise.
