Hackers resort to phishing tweets from X accounts as a part of their social engineering attack tactics leading to the authorization of malicious apps.

Phishing attacks have been on rise. Recently, Web3 security firm Scam Sniffer, reported that around 10,800 victims were impacted by phishing attacks in September alone, with the biggest loss being recorded September 28, when a phishing attack using a permit phishing signature resulted in 12,083 spWETH worth $32.43 million.

Apart from Ordinals Wallet attack, another hacking incident was reported by Scam Sniffer today wherein hackers stole $35 million worth of fwdETH and sold them, which triggered a big drop in fwdETH’s value.
