The Twitter account of <a href="https://crypto.news/blockchain-capital-fuels-worldcoin-with-115m/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blockchain Capital</a> has been hacked by scammers trying to trick users with the promise of a new token claim. 
The hackers used the company’s Twitter account to make fake posts about a giveaway of “BCAP” tokens.&nbsp; 
They created a scam that sent users to a copycat website, mimicking the appearance of the original website of the VC firm.

Later, the company regained control of the website and deleted all the fake posts made by the scammers. 
The fake website created by the hackers included an additional “n” in the URL, trying to copy the original site.
