The Shiba Inu team has issued a critical security alert warning users about a new phishing scam targeting the cryptocurrency community. The fraudulent scheme involves impersonating official crypto projects and using expired Discord invite links to steal funds from holders. 😓
Scammers are creating fake Discord servers designed to look like the Shiba Inu official channel, then sending out malicious links disguised as genuine invitations. These links lead unsuspecting users to verify their accounts by connecting their wallets, allowing hackers to instantly access their SHIB holdings.
To prevent this scam, the team urges all SHIB holders to be cautious of unofficial links and always double-check invites before connecting their wallets. The Shibarium Trustwatch has also warned users to avoid connecting wallets through Discord links and instead prioritize verified social media platforms for communication and information.
