Robinhood confirmed that several of its social media accounts were breached earlier today in a statement emailed to CryptoSlate on Jan. 25.
A company representative said:
Свесни сме за неовластените објави од профилите на Твитер, Инстаграм и Фејсбук на Робинхуд, кои беа отстранети за неколку минути. Во моментов, врз основа на нашата тековна истрага, веруваме дека изворот на инцидентот бил преку трета страна продавач.
The company did not state which vendor may have been responsible.
The unauthorized breach saw Robinhood’s official account promote a Паметен синџир на Binance-based token called $RBH. Though that token exists on-chain, it has no official relationship with Robinhood and appears to exist solely for use in today’s scam.
Although $RBH has no value itself, the адреса that appears to be responsible for the scam holds approximately 25.3 BNB ($7,750). Given that the account was created earlier today, it is likely that this amount was earned entirely through the Robinhood scam.
$RBH’s токен договор indicates that just 61 addresses hold the fraudulent token.
Главниот извршен директор на Binance, Changpeng haао commented on the incident. He said that Binance has locked an account connected to the scam and is investigating the matter.
Robinhood allows users to trade and use cryptocurrency — including through its recently-launched паричник за самостарателство — but has not issued any crypto token of its own.
