But how do these people end up getting their accounts hacked that easily?

You are managing a project where money is going to be involved with very many users following your socials but don't take any stringent measures to safeguard your accounts. How are people supposed to trust the integrity of the project, haha?

Porbably a post or some kinda link have been posted not knowing its a link generated by hacker or the one compromise the social account. This kind of situation is not new. So if someone from Twitter or discord of a project posted something especially more like a giveaway better to wait for few days or hours before engaging cause its bettet to be cautious since potential hack is probable.

Yes this is question arise in every expert mind. When they are giving so many marketing fund to early supporters as a airdrop then why not use some fund to strengthen the security to make ecosystem more secure.

IMHO, it is their uncertainty that their project is going to be successful so instead of focusing and investing that to their security, they're just putting that into fund as marketing for which that's how going to attract more investors. It's like a hit or miss on them and that's why usually we see most projects do that, the same thinking and strategy I guess.

This is worst hack,as their discord hack at a time when people could be deceived very easily because airdrop token claiming ended just some hours ago and hackers start pinning new link for new airdrop (fake). No one even think that it could be scam attempt.

I think I've seen the same airdrop as this when the actual airdrop was done and then several hours later, there goes the hype for that airdrop and project and then many still think that it's possible to claim it because of some links given. I can't recall the name of a project but a friend of mine who's new to it dug on it and I've said that the airdrop was totally done and there was no anymore round 2s.

What is interesting is that the hack and publishing those phishing links started just few minutes after their airdrop has ended!
They posted that tweet but they didn't care to post or share any more information about what happened even after declaring that everything has been fixed! Tbh, I wouldn't trust anyone who operates this way.

If a project becomes a victim of such hacking at the time of its launch, the experience of the project team's security experts may be questioned. As they are going to airdrop their tokens to the community, it is even more worrying that crypto users who were waiting to participate in the airdrop might click on such phishing links and fall prey to hackers.

Thank you for posting this here, hopefully the users of this forum who were not aware of this will see this post.

The team of this project was also in such a hurry to follow the trend that they ignored important things like security. Because currently there are many popular projects in the crypto market who have airdropped tokens worth millions of dollars, as a result of which they may have wanted to quickly launch the project to become popular and ignored important issues.

That means that before participating in the airdrop of any project, it is important to make sure that the project is not hacked. Because now hackers will use this technique with more projects to trap crypto users.

Everybody will be aware of ZKFAIR ^{The first community ZK-Rollup based on Polygon CDK} has recently launched the airdrop for layer 2 active wallets. Now unfortunately their discord account has been hacked and hackers are sending phishing links to steal the fund. It js very bad that any project social account hacked in very first month. It will put a very bad affect on project.

If anyone here eligible for airdrop or somehow active in their social pages, kindly be safe and don't click on any links provide in discord. This kind of hacking is also possible in other projects too so whenever you site ask wallet connect, don't connect blindly and wait for some hours to checkb wheather it is official or just hacking attempt.
