 <p class="is-style-lead">Tellor reports double-digit gains in the past 24 hours, where it currently sits at $112.21.</p>
 <p>At the same time, PeckShield shared the news of its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="account" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/account.html">account</a> being hacked.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="a-fake-airdrop">A fake airdrop</h2>
 <p>The hackers made two posts on X about the fake airdrop of Tellor’s native TRB tokens, urging users to claim free TRB tokens by following a phishing link.&nbsp;</p>

 <p>The initial post misleadingly stated, “The $TRB airdrop is live on an EVM chain near you…,” redirecting users to a counterfeit tellor[.]co website mimicking Tellor’s genuine URL. Subsequently, a follow-up post reaffirmed the false <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="promise" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/promise.html">promise</a>, asserting that “$75,000 claimed on…”.</p>

 <p>PeckShield shared news of the Tellor X <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="account" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/account.html">account</a> being com<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="promise" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/promise.html">promise</a>d as part of its regular real-time alerts, sharing the news in a post made on Nov. 3, with a screenshot showing that Aegis Web3 identified the website “tellor.co” as a phishing platform, presenting the risk of users having their private keys stolen, among other risks.</p>
 <h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="following-a-150-price-gain">Following a 150% price gain&nbsp;</h2>
 <p>A few weeks earlier on Oct. 24, TRB made headlines after it gained more than 150% in <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a>, making it a top gainer, yet again, while compared to other altcoins. Although less substantial, Nov. 3 <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="price" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/price.html">price</a> charts show a 10.15% increase, placing it in what would be the #2 spot on CoinMarketCap.</p>
