Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin’s official Twitter (X) account was reportedly compromised. According to reports, hackers have released a malicious link in a recent tweet in what looks to be a phishing assault. 
Dmitry Buterin, Vitalik’s father, made the announcement that his son’s X account had been hacked on September 9. His referenced post has subsequently been removed. In it, Buterin supposedly expresses joy at “Proto-Danksharding coming to Ethereum.” Even though it was reported that the Twitter account had been hacked, it seems that the account was quickly reclaimed.

According to reports, the hackers used a phishing link in a tweet claiming that Consensys was giving away a special <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/nft-news-lufthansa-airline-introduces-nft-loyalty-rewards-on-polygon-network/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFT</a> to mark the arrival of “Proto-Danksharding” on Ethereum. The <a href="http://Ethereum.org" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Ethereum</a> co-founder’s X account was compromised and PeckShieldAlert warned of a phishing URL. 
The hacking of <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/ethereum-co-founder-vitalik-buterin-sells-500-mkr-token/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Buterin’s</a> account is only the latest in a string of high-profile breaches involving the cryptocurrency industry. Back in July this year, the Twitter account of <a href="https://uniswap.org/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Uniswap’s</a> creator, Hayden Adams, was hacked. Buterin’s recent tweets reveal, among other things, that he and Ameen Soleimani co-authored a study on blockchain privacy.
