Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has addressed<\/u><\/a> the recent compromise of his X account after hackers used the profile to promote a fake crypto scheme.<\/p>\n

Tenev returned to the platform on Thursday, stating that Robinhood was “awaiting details” from X to better understand what happened. He also clarified that the trading giant had not launched any cryptocurrency token despite its deep involvement in the crypto sector. <\/p>\n

“I’m back. We are awaiting details from the @X team to better understand what happened. In case it wasn’t clear, Robinhood has not issued any coins or tokens. Stay safe out there,” Tenev posted.<\/p>\n

“Our CEO Vlad Tenev\u2019s X account was compromised and posted a fake promotion for a meme coin. We\u2019re working with X to restore access and the post has been removed,” Robinhood Comms said.<\/p>\n

A familiar pattern <\/h2>\n

The fake promotion follows a familiar pattern that is typically observed in crypto-related account breaches. Attackers take control of high-profile social accounts and promote fake tokens or giveaways in the hope of luring in gullible and uninformed victims. <\/p>\n

In 2020, hackers gained access to dozens of prominent X accounts, including those linked to Elon Musk<\/u><\/a>to advertise a fake BTC giveaway. <\/p>\n

In September 2023, Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin\u2019s X account was compromised and used to promote a fake NFT giveaway. <\/p>\n

Sometimes hackers get more creative. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission\u2019s official X account was compromised to prematurely announce the approval of spot Bitcoin ETFs. This briefly pushed the price of Bitcoin (BTC) sharply higher. <\/p>\n

Earlier this month, Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky also revealed that his X account had been compromised after hackers used it to publish a lengthy thread discussing blockchain-based tokenization and real-world assets. Some observers questioned why a hacker would choose to promote tokenization. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
