PeckShield, a blockchain security firm, warned in an X post on Sept. 19 that the official Decentraland X account had been compromised.

The attackers are reportedly circulating a phishing link posing as a MANA token airdrop to deceive the virtual reality (VR) platform’s social media followers.

The link redirects users to a website that prompts users to claim the token airdrop by connecting their wallets, only to have their funds compromised shortly after.

PeckShield warning

The blockchain security firm has advised users to refrain from interacting with the official Decentraland account by not clicking the link or engaging with related content.

PeckShield informs users that they should await further announcements from the VR platform’s social media account to confirm account security has been restored.

This method of social media breach is becoming an ongoing trend, as seen on Sept. 18 when crypto scammers hacked into several high-profile social media accounts.
