Hackers Hold Fake XRP Distribution on Behalf of PwC in Venezuela
Reading Time: < 1 minute
Some attackers have hacked the Twitter account of accounting firm PwC Venezuela to promote a fake XRP giveaway on behalf of Ripple CEO Brad Garlinghouse.
The company administration managed to restore access to the page and remove the phishing links eight hours after the incident.
During this time, hackers reportedly posted 14 such materials. The account currently has about 37,100 subscribers.
Ripple and Garlinghouse filed a lawsuit against YouTube in April 2020 accusing the platform of reputational damage due to inaction against scammers promoting fake XRP token giveaways on their behalf.
