<p>The Redacted Money team is working with law enforcement to investigate the attack and has taken steps to secure the server and prevent future attacks.&nbsp;</p> 
<p>It is believed that these hackers gained access to the server through a <a href="https://crypto.news/investor-loses-3-8m-worth-of-tokens-in-phishing-attack/">phishing attack</a>.</p> 
<p><a href="https://www.redacted.money" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Redacted Money</a> is a trustless zero knowledge (ZK) protocol designed to enable users to secure their crypto transactions from prying eyes. </p> 
<p>The social media handles of web3 projects and influencers have become juicy targets for scammers and crypto thieves. </p> 
<p>Last year, Bored Ape Yacht Club’s Discord server got <a href="https://crypto.news/bored-ape-yacht-club-discord-server-hack/">compromised</a> through Twitter, with the bad actors selling off the project’s NFT collections at lower prices.</p> 
<p>In January 2023, NFT God, a popular digital collectibles blogger, <a href="https://crypto.news/nft-blogger-hacked-losses-assets-after-clicking-a-phishing-advertisement-link-on-google/">lost</a> his “entire digital livelihood” after clicking on a malicious phishing scam link on Google.</p> 
<p>Earlier this week, scammers <a href="https://crypto.news/scammers-hijack-aptos-network-twitter-to-promote-fake-apt-airdrop/">hijacked</a> the Twitter handle of the Aptos (APT) blockchain project to promote a scam APT airdrop campaign. However, no losses were reported at the time. </p>
