Robinhood’s Twitter account was hacked earlier on Wednesday and used to promote a fraudulent crypto project.
The hackers announced the launch of a new token called $RBH, which they said was available on the Binance Smart Chain for $0.0005.
According to data from Blockchain explorer, around 10 people purchased the scam token before the link was taken down. The total amount purchased was less than $1,000.
Crypto hacks accelerated rapidly in 2022, topping a total of $3 billion in total funds loss throughout the year, according to a report from Chainanalysis.
