EigenLayer X account hacked, posting phishing links, yet EIGEN price<\/a> remains resilient, rising 10% with Binance support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"EigenLayer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

EigenLayer has recently drawn significant attention from investors following reports that its social media account was compromised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These reports indicate that the project's official X account is posting phishing scams, with warnings urging investors to avoid clicking on the links. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite this, the price of EIGEN surged by over 10% today, supported by major crypto exchanges and other key developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EigenLayer Posts Phishing Links After X Account Hack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

According to the reports, EigenLayer's X account was hacked, and phishing links were posted to deceive users. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On-chain analytics firm PeckShieldAlert issued a strong warning, advising investors to steer clear of the fraudulent links being shared. PeckShieldAlert's warning stated:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cEigenLayer X account has been compromised. Do NOT click the #phishing link eligible-eigenfoundation[.]org.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Media sources confirmed the issue, noting that the project\u2019s X handle recently shared a post that included the following message:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe\u2019re happy to announce that eligible participants for Season 2 have been reallocated EIGEN tokens! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we are transitioning into Programmatic incentives, the remaining EIGEN supply for Season 2 has been redistributed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hack follows a growing trend of social media attacks on platforms like X and Discord, where hackers exploit security flaws to spread malicious content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, the US SEC\u2019s X account was also hacked, posting a fake message about Bitcoin ETF approval. The FBI recently arrested the hacker<\/a> responsible for that incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the security breach, the swift warnings helped prevent users from falling victim to the phishing scam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This and recent positive developments for EigenLayer have kept investors confident in the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EIGEN Price Rises 10% Despite Hack<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though EigenLayer's X account was compromised, the price of EIGEN\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a> increased by nearly 10%, reaching $3.48, with a trading volume spike of 39%, hitting $141.52 million. Over the past 24 hours, the crypto reached a high of $3.53.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EIGEN has garnered attention since major crypto exchanges like Binance and Coinbase announced listings for the token in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Binance recently expanded its offerings for EIGEN by adding it to its loanable assets and VIP loans, further boosting market sentiment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, some analysts predict the price of EIGEN could rally to $5 if certain conditions are met.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
