FalconFeedsio X Account Hacked for Scams

Harrison County Schools Cyberattack Incident

FalconFeedsio, a well-respected platform within the cybersecurity community, has been compromised. The official X account of FalconFeedsio was hacked, leading to the promotion of fraudulent cryptocurrency posts and scams. The account, once trusted for providing timely cybersecurity news, now disseminates suspicious content related to cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and the controversial Trump token ($TRUMP). These posts have created confusion among followers, urging users to refrain from clicking any links originating from the compromised account.

The fraudulent posts included claims about the stability of various cryptocurrencies and links to dubious websites.

Cybersecurity professionals quickly reacted, warning others to avoid interacting with any content shared by the hacked account. Some users speculated that the breach could have occurred despite the use of two-factor authentication (2FA), questioning how such an attack bypassed this security measure. This raised concerns about the effectiveness of 2FA in protecting accounts from sophisticated breaches.

Various individuals, including cybersecurity experts, took to social media to alert others about the breach. One user even suggested that the hack could have been a retaliatory action from a disgruntled group, though the exact motives behind the attack remain unclear. FalconFeedsio’s followers expressed their worries, with some speculating on the potential cause of the breach, such as a SIM swap attack. Despite the uncertainty, the community swiftly mobilized to warn others about the ongoing scam.

In response, FalconFeedsio’s creator, Nandakishore Harikumar, acknowledged the breach and clarified that the cryptocurrency posts were scams. He assured followers that the team was working on regaining control of the compromised account and investigating the incident. Harikumar expressed regret for any inconvenience caused and urged users to remain cautious while the platform worked to secure the account and prevent further damage.
