The official Twitter account of Indian cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX was hacked and used by attackers to publish fake XRP promotions with phishing links.

In response to the hack, CoinDCX’s official customer service warned users to ignore promotional calls on the compromised exchange account and not to click on any links or messages about free XPR giveaways.

The support service reports that it is working to restore access to the exchange account and promises to notify users when it is fixed. The exchange’s official Twitter account had 230,000 followers.

So far, there has been no data on the loss of funds among CoinDCX customers.

Hackers are increasingly targeting official accounts of public companies because they not only inspire trust but also provide easy access to a broad audience.

In September, hackers gained unauthorized access to the Twitter account of a subsidiary of one of the Big Four accounting firms, PwC Venezuela. The account was filled with phishing links and advertisements about fake XRP token giveaways.
