An authorized person from the Shiba Inu team announced that the Telegram account of the community was attacked by hackers. It was emphasized that hackers sent fake BONE AirDrop links to users and when the link is clicked, there is a risk of losing all assets in the wallet.
Fake AirDrop announcement
Lucie, the official marketing expert of the Shiba Inu team, shared a post from SHIB Discord administrator DaVinci. DaVinci announced that the Telegram account of Ragnar, one of the administrators of the Shibarium Telegram channel, was hacked.
It was stated that the compromised account made fake BONE AirDrop announcements. SHIB holders were warned not to click on the links sent and not to send any communication to the compromised account.

Another prominent SHIB-themed account on the X app, @vetkusama, which calls itself “Shytoshi Kusama’s sister,” also shared this warning. He urged the SHIB community not to click on any links in Ragnar’s post, adding that no AirDrop was received.
An X user in the comments suggested that it would be better to create a cyber security team to ensure the security of Shiba Inu-related accounts.
