Monad’s official Telegram channel has been targeted with fraudulent ads mimicking its upcoming airdrop portal. The malicious actors exploited the platform to push deceptive ads into the project’s announcements channel, which is reserved exclusively for Monad updates. In a statement on X (formerly Twitter), Monad co-founder Keone Hon urged users not to click links in such advertisements. He emphasizes that the attack occurred before the airdrop claim portal opens on Tuesday at 1:00 pm UTC and urges users to exercise caution and verify information before interacting with anything related to the airdrop, as scammers are seeking to exploit heightened user attention.
