On June 4, 2022, the verified Twitter account of the Venezuelan newspaper El Universal (with over 5 million followers) was hijacked and renamed “goblintown.wtf.” The attackers altered the bio and profile pictures and posted fraudulent tweets promising an airdrop of 10,000 “Goblins,” linking to a phishing site designed to drain victims’ cryptocurrency wallets. IPYS Venezuela issued an alert, and the newspaper’s technical team began the recovery process with Twitter.
