EigenLayer's X account has been compromised, leading to the dissemination of a fake airdrop campaign. On October 18, a post was made indicating that users eligible for a previous airdrop could claim a new one. However, this claim redirected users to a malicious link unrelated to EigenLayer's protocol. The fraudulent post was deleted shortly after being published, suggesting the attackers may have lost access to the account. Onchain investigator ZachXBT alerted users not to click on the links shared by this compromised account. Given EigenLayer's significant presence, being the second-largest protocol on Ethereum with over $11.1 billion in total value locked, the malicious link might have reached many unsuspecting users.
