CertiK’s X Account Hacked: Stay safe
Crypto firm CertiK's social media account was hacked, falsely warning of Uniswap's issue to steal crypto via phishing links.
The X (formerly Twitter) account of crypto auditing firm CertiK has reportedly been hacked and has been stealing crypto from user wallets using disguised phishing links.
CertiK’s compromised account published the link to its 342,900 followers alongside a fake warning claiming that a vulnerability had been discovered in Uniswap’s router contract. The tweet then directed users to a fake RevokeCash page where it claimed they would be able to reverse any vulnerable approvals.
The official Revoke team has since confirmed that the message was fake, saying “CertiK’s X account has been compromised and is sharing a link to a fake Revoke website. Uniswap is NOT compromised.”
CertiK’s affiliated security alert account also warned users this morning to avoid interacting with any posts from the main account until it is confirmed to be safe, noting that it is investigating the incident.
