ChainCatcher news, Slow Mist's Chief Information Security Officer 23pds stated on social media that Vitalik's Twitter was hijacked to post phishing information, most likely using the SIM swap method. Previously, the Twitter account of the Uniswap founder was also hijacked via SIM swap to post phishing links. These are targeted attacks on well-known individuals, who have a large number of followers, making the exposure of phishing information significantly higher and easier to profit from. Given the low cost of SIM swap attacks, 23pds reminds users to be aware of the associated risks.
