An attacker gained access to PwC Venezuela’s Twitter account and has been actively posting cryptocurrency phishing links for the last 8 hours at the time of the writing. Considering that all the tweets posted by the hacker remain active, it is evident that PwC officials are yet to realize the compromise. Investors clicking on the links remain at risk of being defrauded by the hacker. If not mitigated promptly, the threat may be catastrophic, considering that PwC Veleneula’s Twitter currently boasts over 37,000 followers.

This is one of the main problem here in crypto world. A lot of hackers, not just any hackers. but they will target high profile people to shill crypto just like the news is for. I hope this will not affect XRP's reputation. and we really need to tighten up the security of our accounts to avoid this from happening to us.
