Patreon Support said it has identified the problem and is working to address “affected accounts” as crypto users continue to receive unsolicited spam.
Crypto users across social media have sounded the alarm over a new spate of crypto-themed phishing emails — seemingly sent from content creator platform Patreon.
According to reports on social media platforms X and Reddit, crypto users have been getting their email addresses signed up for Patreon by scammers who would then sign them up for malicious emails from fake crypto projects on the platform.
Reports of the attempted phishing attacks began to appear on Jan. 23, with users reporting that they’ve received fake airdrop offers from Patreon creators impersonating Chainlink (LINK), Solana (SOL), Manta Network (MANTA) and Sui (SUI).
