Hack alert for altcoin project
The security breach on Lisk’s Discord server, a popular communication channel for the Lisk community, was discovered by the platform’s administrators earlier today. Responding immediately to the situation, Lisk issued a statement to inform its users and raise awareness of the potential risks associated with the compromised server. Lisk urged community members to be cautious and refrain from clicking any link posted on the Discord server until further notice. Clicking on suspicious links may expose users to phishing attempts or malware that can compromise their personal information and crypto assets.
Emphasizing the importance of skepticism, Lisk explained that no token airdrops or raffles are currently being run. The platform stressed that claims to the contrary are false and possibly part of malicious attempts to deceive and defraud users. Users were asked to trust official announcements made through trusted Lisk communication channels, such as the company’s website and verified social media accounts.
Lisk continues its work on the subject
As a precautionary measure, Lisk immediately launched a thorough investigation into the hack and commissioned cybersecurity experts to determine the extent of the breach and restore the server’s security. The company assured its users that they are diligently working to address the situation and implement advanced security measures to prevent future attacks. Lisk stressed the importance of maintaining good cybersecurity practices and encouraged its users to follow recommended security protocols.
This included using strong and unique passwords for Lisk accounts, enabling two-factor authentication, and being careful when interacting with online platforms and services. As the investigation progresses, Lisk says it will continue to provide updates to its community regarding progress made in resolving the issue and strengthening security measures. Users are encouraged to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity to the Lisk support team.
