Arbitrum issues security alert after DAO X account compromise
Summary
Arbitrum, the Ethereum layer 2 scaling network, issued a security alert warning users to avoid interacting with the official Arbitrum DAO X account because it was compromised. The attackers used the account to publish unauthorized posts promoting a supposed airdrop and "snapshot confirmation," which included links to a third-party site. Arbitrum advised users not to click any links or interact with posts from the compromised account while recovery efforts are underway. The fraudulent posts were pinned and reshared, increasing their visibility before the compromise was detected.
