Shiba Inu Warns of Scam from Compromised Partner X Account
Shiba Inu’s team issued an urgent warning after a compromised X account reportedly belonging to a new partner posted content that could trick SHIB holders into losing funds. The malicious post appears designed to harvest credentials or prompt unsafe wallet interactions; the project cautioned users not to engage with unfamiliar links or requests that ask for seed phrases or private keys.
This matters because phishing through seemingly legitimate partner accounts is a growing vector for token losses across the ecosystem. SHIB holders should confirm announcements only through verified channels, disconnect wallets from suspicious sites, and report the compromised account to X. The community reaction has been swift, and the project says it’s investigating the incident while coordinating with platform support to limit further exposure.
