Official Statement: Heightened Alert for Impersonation Scams
The THORChain core team has released an urgent security advisory to its global community. The team has identified a significant increase in fraudulent accounts across various social media platforms and communication channels. These accounts are impersonating official THORChain representatives and spreading false information regarding "user refunds," "token airdrops," and "incident compensations" in an attempt to mislead users.
Current Project Status & Fund Security
Based on the latest official investigation, user funds were not impacted by the previously mentioned security incident. The THORChain team categorically states: There are no ongoing or planned refund, airdrop, or financial compensation programs at this time. Any individual, group, or website claiming to offer such services is not affiliated with THORChain and is engaging in fraudulent activity.
