Hackers are posting about RWA—probably because they’ve seen how hot this track has been lately, and they want to cash in by cutting up some unsuspecting investors?

Sometimes having an account hacked is even more scary than a project team running away—just one fake post can make the market tremble, and RWA is already not very stable.

I’m curious how the black hat hacker managed to bypass two-factor authentication—could it be they weren’t phishing emails? I suggest Chesky checks their own security habits.

Airbnb should issue a statement right away, otherwise users will all be misled by fake news—tokenization isn’t done like this.

It’s really impossible to fully prevent account takeovers— even big-company CEOs have been hit too. Everyone, please pay attention to your security.
