Web3 Projects Urged To Enhance Twitter Security Amid Phishing Scams

According to BlockBeats, on October 18, several Web3 projects, including Eigenlayer and Rendr, along with their founders and key opinion leaders (KOLs), have recently experienced a surge in phishing scams through their official Twitter accounts. These accounts were compromised and used to post fraudulent links, posing significant risks to users. GoPlus has advised the teams managing these Twitter accounts to implement Twitter's two-factor authentication (2FA) to enhance security. Additionally, they recommend being cautious when connecting Twitter to third-party applications, ensuring not to over-authorize these apps. Regular checks and timely revocation of third-party application permissions are also suggested to prevent the posting of phishing links that could harm users.
