Curve Hacked! Beware: “Free” CRV Airdrop Turns into Crypto Circus 🐾

by

In the heart of Moscow, into the smoky tunnels of the Internet—where nothing ever happens without a twist of fate and a flourish of the absurd—a most comedic tampering occurred. Early this morning, as the city’s dreamers still debated whether to pour another cup of tea, the official X account of Curve Finance—once known as the chirping bird’s nest, now awkwardly reborn as “X” for reasons best left to mathematicians—was spirited away by an unseen hand.

The result? An announcement as grandiose as it was fraudulent: “First CRV airdrop!” sang the account, radiating the intoxicating scent of free money and hope. It even promised a brief window to join the festivities: one week, a mere snap of the fingers, until that magical Sunday at midnight UTC. The link? Oh, dear friends, what better bait than the familiar “curve.fi”—because surely you can trust everything with a dot and two letters at the end, da?

Confirmed: Curve X account hacked. No other account appears to be hacked – the control over X account was just silently taken by someone

Our valiant protagonist, Michael Egorov, founder and unsuspecting hero of this operetta, dashed forth to the stage—his own X account. “Yes, comrades, the account is compromised. No, nobody else has been hacked. The villain slipped in, stole the keys, and departed as quietly as a mouse in felt slippers.” The spectators gasped, wallets clutched to chests.

Hearts racing with suspicion, crypto sage crediBULL and his troupe issued warnings visible even from the upper gallery: do not, under pain of eternal FOMO and possibly bankruptcy, click any links beamed from the possessed account. “Look at these rewards!” the fake tweet screamed, accompanied by graphics shinier than the buttons on a bureaucrat’s uniform.

Imitation is the sincerest form of phishing.

The method of this heist remains a mystery—phishing? Leaked scripts scribbled on napkins? A hypnotized intern? Not even the KGB would dare guess yet. For now, only X itself is under the spell; the rest of Curve’s realms remain unplagued.

So, noble travelers: resist all temptation, no matter how golden the carrot dangles on @CurveFinance’s feed. Engage not, clicketh not. Seek wisdom only from official sources—ideally lacking the aura of chaos and, preferably, minus any mention of “airdrop.”

Let this serve as yet another lesson from the Department of I Told You So: In crypto, if you see an offer too good to be true, it probably came from the devil—or worse, a hacker seeking to fill his own pockets while sowing confusion in a market already teetering on existential dread. Stay vigilant, dear reader, and may your coins remain exactly where you left them. 🕵️‍♂️💸
