Arterra Suffers Discord Hack, "Recovers"

Arterra, an EVM Layer-1 chain, has recently announced a security breach involving its official Discord server. According to an official statement made via the Arterra X (formerly Twitter) account, the server was compromised due to a hack, resulting in attackers taking control of the account and posting a fake airdrop phishing link in the official Artella Discord channel. The Arterra team promptly took action upon discovering the hack, removing the fake airdrop phishing link from the Discord server. They have emphasized that Arterra is not conducting any airdrops, urging users to remain vigilant against potential security threats, especially as the project approaches its mainnet launch. The incident serves as a reminder for users to exercise caution when interacting with online platforms and to be wary of phishing attempts. Social engineering attacks through compromised accounts are becoming increasingly prevalent, underscoring the importance of verifying the authenticity of airdrops and other promotions before engaging with them.
