CoinGecko's X Account Hacked, Posts Fraudulent Token Airdrop
Cryptocurrency data aggregator CoinGecko’s X account and terminal were briefly compromised on Jan. 10.
In a fraudulent post, hackers promoted the launch of a new cryptocurrency called GCKO, which could pay for API services such as the cryptocurrency ANKR.
A phishing scam link informing users of a CoinGecko token airdrop was posted to the firm’s X account. The post has been deleted.
