At a time when cryptocurrencies were suddenly booming, Vitalik Buterin, the founder of Ethereum (ETH), gained huge fame in a short time with the cryptocurrency in question. Vitalik, who is only 29 years old, has been the focus of many discussions surrounding both NFT and cryptocurrency during this period.
But our crypto phenomenon, Vitalik Buterin, is faced with an unpleasant incident this time. According to Cointelegraph, Vitalik’s X (Twitter) account was hacked in the early hours and a phishing post was made. The post in question was deleted from the account as soon as the account was restored.
In total, more than $691,000 was stolen from the followers’ wallets.
The post in question, which has been deleted from Vitalik’s account, heralded the so-called “inclusion of Proto-Danksharding in Ethereum”. The link the hacker added to the post included a link to connect your wallet. When you connected your wallet, the attacker or attackers would withdraw everything from your account.
Crypto Punk #3983, the most valuable NFT in the hacker’s account, was initially worth 46.99 Ether, or $76,837. After the link was shared, this value exceeded $250,543. Everyone was surprised when ZachXBT, who shared the developments in the hacker’s account, shared that 147 thousand dollars were taken with this attack. But in a short time, this value reached $691,000.
While many people blamed Vitalik for not taking the necessary security measures on In this context, it is also argued that there is negligence on the part of X.
