Zach\u2019s response to inquiries from other NFT Twitter personalities, questioning how he became aware of the hack, was that Franklin had sent him a text message. In a short span of time, 27 transactions already occurred, raking in over 1.76 ETH thereafter. Moreover, the hacker still seems to have control over the account.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/franklinisbored\/status\/1667141642732576817\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The hacker is STILL tweeting out fake links and announcements<\/a>. The latest of which leads to \u201cgreen.franklin\u201d a scam site that drains NFT wallets. Interestingly, Franklin had warned about impersonation accounts and sharing harmful links just a few days before the hack. He has since sent tweets via his other account (a real account, confirmed by ZachXBT) announcing the hack and users not to engage.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hey it\u2019s Franklin \u2013 the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/franklinisbored?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@franklinisbored<\/a> account is hacked.

He made it clear that his main account had been hacked as of June 8, 2023, and advised against sending any cryptocurrency or clicking on any links.<\/p>\n<p>Strangely, Franklin\u2019s account experienced a similar hacking incident on July 9, 2022. Even more intriguingly, this most recent hack took place almost precisely 11 months minus one day after the previous occurrence. Does this indicate a mere coincidence, or is there an emerging pattern? Twitter user @NFTBringer believes this is a sign of a repeating pattern, and that there\u2019s something deeper going on.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, we want to spread the word about impersonators and scammers taking advantage of crypto users.
