The Discord servers of several high-profile blockchain projects were all hit with similar attacks over the weekend — all sharing links to sham token distribution schemes.
Layer-1 network Avalanche and layer-2 blockchain ZKsync’s official Discord servers have also been hit with exploits less than 48 hours after the Polygon’s Discord was compromised.
In an Aug. 25 post to X, the official account for Avalanche shared that its Discord server had been compromised and urged users not to interact with or click on any links.
According to screenshots shared by members of the Avalanche Discord on X, the attackers posted several links to sham “distribution” schemes for Avalanche (AVAX) tokens, claiming that holders and community members could claim free AVAX.
