Threat Score
Mandiant's X account was hijacked for over six hours to push a cryptocurrency airdrop scam impersonating the Phantom wallet; the firm regained control and says 2FA was enabled. The report links this incident to a broader pattern of attackers brute-forcing or buying verified Gold/dormant accounts, selling them on the dark web, and using compromised accounts to spread malicious links and wallet-drainer/infostealer malware to victims.
