CertiK Twitter account hijacked by cryptocurrency scammer posing as Forbes journalist

CertiK’s official Twitter account was hijacked after an employee responded to a DM impersonating a Forbes reporter and clicked a malicious Calendly link; attackers posted a link to a fake Revoke.cash site designed to prompt users to link their Twitter and enable token-draining transactions. CertiK detected the compromise, deleted the fraudulent tweets, and secured the account within minutes, and the article highlights this incident as part of a wider trend of compromised/impersonated "gold" Twitter accounts being used to perpetrate cryptocurrency scams.
