This crypto detective revealed that the hacker earned nearly $9,000 through this hacking incident. According to ZachXBT, the hacker had invested a five-figure amount into this scam but ultimately failed to turn a profit.
The hack likely occurred because all the compromised X accounts were connected to the same site or app and had granted permission for it to post on their behalf.
These days, a huge number of crypto projects are coming to the limelight through Telegram mini-game-based concepts. Therefore, people also need to be cautious of any crypto token announcements by any crypto exchange, as they may be fake.
