It would not be wrong to say that there has been fraud wherever there is money since the past. Cryptocurrencies are no exception to this issue. The growth of cryptocurrencies and their volume exceeding trillions of dollars have brought with them attackers who want to benefit from this situation. While it is known that many projects have had their systems and social media accounts attacked, another one of these occurred in the past minutes.
Near Protocol X Account Hacked
Information about the protocol’s roadmap was shared approximately 2 hours ago NEAR’s The X account then hosted a series of suspicious posts. The X account belonging to NEAR first shared a tweet with a phone number, and then shared an interesting text. The text included the following words: A Prize Pool Worth 21 Million TL Awaits You from BinanceTR! Participating and winning has never been easier.. You can sign up to BinanceTR from this link. Get your first crypto!
EVERYTHING IN ORDER
I will not leave a “ca”, there is no contract address. Anyone who does this, like all Web3, is a charlatan. Delete your X account, go out and choose a normal life, you idiots. Nothing good will come of this. Trust me.
It is also seen that the image of the X account was changed, and it seems that it is not known how the attack was successful. It may be beneficial for investors not to click on links and redirects that will be shared in any way.
How Many Dollars is NEAR?
After the incident, the eyes NEAR returned to its price. Despite the events, it was seen that there was a price increase in the altcoin. In the last 24 hours, the price of the altcoin is finding buyers in the $ 3.85 region after a 2% increase, while about 2 hours ago the price rose to $ 3.94.
Later, when the market volume was examined, it was seen that NEAR stepped into the top 20 with $ 4.3 billion, and in this process, it left behind projects such as Uniswap, KASPA and ICP and started to follow LTC. On the other hand, the 24-hour transaction volume was at $ 209.6 million after a 10% increase.
