Ethereum Foundation emails hacked, hackers promoting Lido pledge phishing scam
The Ethereum Foundation's email account was hacked and a phishing email was sent to 35,794 people, recording the email addresses of 81 subscribers. The email falsely claimed that the Foundation partnered with LidoDAO to provide 6.8% of the staked Ethereum proceeds. Users who click on the link in the email and approve the transaction will have their wallets emptied.
The foundation quickly blocked the malicious email delivery, closed the attack path and alerted relevant parties. Investigations revealed that while the attackers obtained some new email addresses, no victims lost funds in the attack.
