BREAKING: Cointelegraph Falls Victim to Sophisticated Hack—Fake Airdrop Lures Crypto Users
Crypto news giant Cointelegraph got blindsided by hackers today in a brazen phishing attack. The perpetrators hijacked the platform to promote a fraudulent airdrop—classic 'too-good-to-be-true' bait for desperate degens.
How it went down: Attackers bypassed security protocols, replacing legitimate content with malicious links. The fake offer promised free tokens—because nothing screams 'scam' louder than 'free money' in crypto.
Security experts are calling this one of the most sophisticated breaches in recent months. Meanwhile, blockchain sleuths are tracing the digital breadcrumbs—probably to some offshore exchange where the stolen funds will 'mysteriously' vanish.
Silver lining? At least the hackers didn't rug-pull investors... this time. Just another Tuesday in Web3 security theater.
