Hackers are creating false Porsche NFT accounts to deploy a phishing campaign.
The automaker recently canceled its plans to launch an NFT collection after poor reviews.
- Porsche planned to mint 7,500 NFTs on Monday, but the company failed to successfully mint all of them.
- This caused backlash from the crypto community, leading to the cancellation of the entire project.
- Even though this news spread among crypto enthusiasts, hackers are still trying to take advantage of this situation by sending direct messages to individuals on social media and asking them to provide their information in return for receiving Porsche NFTs.
- Other cases include hackers sending phishing links to their targets, asking that they connect their crypto wallets to have the NFT transferred to them, but in reality, the hackers steal the funds they have on those wallets.
- One specific fake Twitter account managed to gain 11,000 followers pretending to be the official page of the NFT collection. The account was taken down by Twitter.
