The official Twitter account of India-based cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX has been hacked and used by exploiters to post fake XRP promotions associated with phishing links in an attempt to scam the exchanges' followers.
In response to the attack, CoinDCX's official customer support IDENTIFIER flagged the exploit and warned its users not to click on any links or messages coming from the compromised account. According to the exchange, they are working to recover the account and will share updates with their followers very soon.
At the time of writing, hackers have been retweeting the official posts of Ripple Labs CEO Brad Garlinghouse to make their scam look legitimate. While doing that, scammers respond to crypto tweets with scam links.

Users who click on the links posted on the account risk losing their assets to the hacker's scheme. If the problem is not resolved soon, the losses can become serious, as the official Twitter account currently has more than 230,000 followers.
