Various community members have reported a loss of their non-fungible tokens (NFTs), stablecoins, and other crypto tokens due to a hack in Orbiter Finance’s Discord server.
Cyber scams, especially around decentralized finance (DeFi), are almost daily affairs in 2023. Hackers posing as media representatives tricked the project and made them click on a phishing link.
Phishing Announcement in Orbiter Finance’s Discord Server
Hackers published a fake Discord announcement on Orbiter Finance’s server earlier on Thursday. Bad actors capitalized on airdrop season to trick users into connecting their wallets to a phishing website. Eventually, they stole users’ funds.
The project informed its community through a Twitter thread not to trust anything on its Discord server.
Orbiter Finance is a decentralized bridge that supports cross-rollup transfers between Ethereum and other Layer 2 blockchains such as zkSync and Arbitrum.
