These attacks took place over a few weeks whereby the hackers created a fake crypto entity, interacted with the community, and got in touch with Trezor to speak with the CEO.Once a team member clicked on a malicious link that seemed as a Calendly invite, the X account was hijacked.
These misdeeds were later on detected by one crypto security firm,Scam Snifer that immediately warned traders to stay keen.
