Mark Tencaten - Hackers promote fake Robinhood cryptocurrency on Twitter
Hackers advertised fraud tokens on the social media pages of online stock and cryptocurrency broker Robinhood. A now-deleted post was utilized by scammers to advertise a reportedly brand-new Robinhood token. They gave supporters of Robinhood a chance to purchase its RBH token for an introductory price of $0.0005 and be among the first to do so. Sources claim that the hackers stole 26.95 Binance Coin (BNB) tokens valued at about $8,200. People who purchased the token afterward discovered they could not transfer or sell it, which means that their investment is now probably lost. The CEO of Binance shared on social media that the wallet gained from the fraud, which was hosted on the well-known cryptocurrency exchange, was frozen. The illegal tweets on Robinhood's Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook profiles "were all removed within minutes," the company said in a statement. Robinhood is looking into them. While the scam only succeeded in duping a small number of people. Mar
