Goblintown Co-Founder Taub's Twitter Hacked

In this post

Goblintown and Truth Labs co-founder Alex Taub’s Twitter account was hacked early Monday morning, according to a tweet from Truth Labs.

The link to mint a fake eggs NFT led to a site where users clicked on a “Claim Eggs” tab. Lucky Trader could not ascertain the scope of the hack or the contract involved as of Monday morning, as the site is currently down.

The compromised account then directed users to a fake Revoke.cash website saying “GUYS SOMEONE SIMSWAPPED ME THE EGGS LINK IS FAKE AND THEY ARE COMPRIMISING OUR CONTRACT IF YOU INTERACTED WITH OUR CONTRACT BEFORE YOU COULD BE AT RISK."

Truth Labs updated users on the account Monday, which has changed its name to @ajtgoblin and @Zachxbtlover. Taub has been removed from Truth Labs-related Discords, the company said.

“AJT's twitter account is still hacked, and the username is now @ajtgoblin. He is aware, and we are working on regaining access to his twitter. Please do not interact with this account or any links it is posting,” Truth Labs tweeted.

The hacker trolled Taub's followers Monday posting an image of a luxury watch with the words "THX GOBLIN FAMMMMM."
