🛡️ ETHFI Discord Channel Hacked — Now Recovered
Recently, the official Discord channel of ETHFI, a rising DeFi protocol, was compromised by hackers. The incident involved the distribution of phishing links, potentially putting users at risk.
📌 What Happened?
The breach occurred when attackers gained access to the ETHFI Discord server and posted malicious links disguised as official announcements.
Some users, thinking the messages were legitimate, may have connected their wallets, possibly leading to token theft or unauthorized access.
🔄 Current Status: Back Under Control
The ETHFI team regained full control of the Discord server shortly after the attack.
They’ve since removed the phishing content and assured the community that the server is now safe.
They also issued a strong reminder across channels:
“Do not click on any links unless verified through our official announcements.”
⚠️ What Should You Do?
-
Always double-check links, even if they appear in the official channel.
-
Never trust DMs or bot messages on Discord.
-
If you've already clicked or connected your wallet, use a wallet scanner or consult a DeFi security tool to assess any damage.
💬 Final Thoughts
This incident shows that even trusted DeFi projects like ETHFI are not immune to security risks.
Platforms like Discord, Telegram, and Twitter remain major targets for phishing attacks.
In crypto, it’s not just about who sent it—but where the link is taking you.
Stay safe out there.
