#😤 Million-dollar loss in cryptocurrencies: the “Mbappe” coin scam on Twitter:
A cryptocurrency trader recently lost more than US$$ 1 million in less than an hour in a situation that shook the cryptocurrency world.
• What happened?
A hacker👨🏫 managed to access the official Twitter account of Kylian Mbappé🦶, a world football star⚽️, and took the opportunity to promote a new cryptocurrency called “Mbappe”, supposedly launched on the Ethereum (ETH) network. The post, which seemed authentic, quickly attracted the attention of thousands of people.
• The Operator’s Tragedy📢
A cryptocurrency trader, fooled by the legitimate appearance of the post, decided to invest heavily in this new currency, buying more than 1 million dollars in “Mbappe”. However, in less than an hour, the currency suffered a catastrophic 😱collapse, going from 1 million to just 9,200 dollars.
