In a unusual situation today, renowned cryptocurrency news outlet Cointelegraph issued a warning to its subscribers regarding a phishing attempt that surfaced amidst the platform’s genuine celebration of its 10-year anniversary. 
The deceptive email, sent from an address appearing linked to Cointelegraph’s newsletter services (<a>drop@cointelegraph.com</a>), urged users not to engage with the communication, explicitly stating that Cointelegraph does not partake in any form of airdrop activities. 
The fraudulent message, cleverly disguised as a heartfelt celebration for Cointelegraph’s long journey in the industry, aimed to exploit its subscribers by promising an exclusive airdrop as a token of appreciation.
