The developer of Ethereum restaking protocol EigenLayer has confirmed that hackers hijacked its Twitter (aka X) account on Friday, shortly after suspicious posts appeared on its feed. 

A series of posts advertising a fake airdrop appeared Friday morning on EigenLayer’s account. The messages urged Twitter users to click on a link to the Eigen Foundation’s website, which was actually a phishing link. 

“The @EigenLayer handle has been compromised,” the protocol’s developer Eigen Labs said Friday. “Please do not engage with any suspicious links and actively double check and verify you are engaging with ‘eigenlayer.xyz.’ An update will be provided once secured.”
