Vitalik Buterin’s X account (Twitter) Hacked
The hacker shared a link for a supposed free NFT giveaway from Consensys, tricking users into connecting their wallets and subsequently stealing all their NFTs. According to ZachXBT, the incident led to losses of over $691,000. Speculations suggest it might be related to a SIM card swap. Shortly after the breach, Buterin’s father wrote: “Disregard this post, apparently Vitalik has been hacked. He is working on restoring access.”
