Ethereum's co-founder, Vitalik Buterin, faced a security breach on his X (previously known as Twitter) profile, leading to an alleged theft of over $691,000. The compromised link, which falsely advertised a complimentary NFT, was the medium of this scam.

Well, sue Musk for pulling security features from Twitter and enabling scams like that.

Whoever the hell keeps on falling for this shit when Vitalik has repeated over and over and over again that he does NOT do any of these bullshit online giveaways?

It's like falling for the Nigerian prince scam. Some people insist on being conned.
