The official Netgear and Hyundai MEA Twitter/X accounts are the latest hijacked to push scams designed to infect potential victims with cryptocurrency wallet drainer malware.

Hackers are increasingly targeting and compromising verified government and business X accounts with 'gold' and 'grey' checkmarks to add legitimacy to their malicious tweets pushing cryptocurrency scams, phishing sites, and sites dropping crypto drainers.

The X account of web3 security firm CertiK was hacked to push a crypto drainer on Friday, while the account of Google subsidiary and cybersecurity firm Mandiant was hijacked on Wednesday, although it had two-factor authentication toggled on.
