Singularity Reports Fake $AGIX Airdrop from Hacked Dr. Ben Goertzel’s X Account

The ‘X’ account belonging to a prominent AI researcher Dr. Ben Goertzel has been targeted; the breach occurred recently and was reported by Singularity on its Twitter. Fans and the public are warned in the strongest terms to block any communication from this account as all the messages, posts and offers may have originated from the hackers.

Most significantly, there are no existing token giveaways or airdrops connected with Dr. Goertzel at the moment. The account is still in hacker control as of writing and is promoting an airdrop for the token $AGIX. 

Currently, Dr. Goertzel’s team is collaborating with X company’s support and security specialists to regain the unauthorized account. They have regretted any inconvenience as a result of this unauthorized act and have promised to give updates soon.

Sadly, this is not the first time such a breach has happened. Previously, high-profile accounts have been targeted by hackers, leading to significant financial and reputational damage:

  1. Doja Cat: Hackers attacked X account of a rapper and singer Doja Cat earlier this month. The attacker promoted a fraudulent meme token, $DOJA, asking her followers to invest through her social media account which has  5.6 million followers. This resulted in a temporary value increase to millions and a token market cap; it is now at 96% down. This created a very fast growth and a very fast collapse which made many followers lose a lot of money, deceived.
  1. Metallica: Band Metallica’s social media also fell victim to such hacks. It was abused by hackers to spread fake news and offer what appeared to be irresistible promotions based on fake accounts and with promises of incriminating videos and free crypto. The fans who were victims of these scams lost their money, although the sums are not reported clearly.
  1. Hulk Hogan: This also occurred on the account of an iconic wrestler where the hackers advertised fake crypto schemes. Those who believed these messages were scammed into depositing money or providing their personal details for the hacker’s gain.
  1. 50 Cent: The popular rapper’s X account was compromised, and took to the page to advertise a false cryptocurrency giveaway that saw his millions of followers fall for it. 

Cybercriminals staging their unhealthy exercises on social media calls for enhanced security measures and users’ awareness. As for the users, they are urged to be cautious and not respond to anything from the hacked account and should immediately report any such scams to the platform.
