<p>The fake letter from Nansen says customers can now claim their $NANSEN token as part of an “exclusive opportunity,” attaching a malicious link. According to <a href="https://x.com/DeFiBuck/status/1727684272453251197?s=20" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">reports</a> on X, the scammers are distributing the phishing letters via an email apparently registered on networkforgood.com.

<p>The unnamed vendor, who serves “many Fortune 500 companies,” suffered a hacker attack, granting a malicious actor admin rights to an account used by Nansen for customer platform access. Svanevik added that nearly 7% of Nansen’s customers could have been affected by the hack.</p>
