Friend.tech users are warning of possible SIM-swap attacks after a recent spate of supposed hacks resulting in nearly 109 Ether (ETH) worth around $178,000 being drained from four users in under a week.
On Sept. 30, the X (formerly Twitter) user known as “froggie.eth” warned their Friend.tech account was SIM-swapped — where exploiters gain control of a user’s mobile number to intercept two-factor authentication codes, then used to access accounts — and subsequently drained of over 20 ETH.
