According to Hivemapper, the company used the FBI’s IC3 (U.S. internet crime complaint system) process after attackers took over its Discord announcement channel and used a fake airdrop to drain wallets.
Hivemapper said it filed a report with the FBI after its Discord server’s announcement channel was hijacked and used to promote a fake airdrop scam. The company said the complaint was submitted through IC3 (U.S. internet crime complaint system). The incident reportedly led to drained wallets, a common form of crypto theft in which users are tricked into approving malicious transactions or connecting wallets to fraudulent links. The case highlights an ongoing security risk across crypto communities, where compromised social channels are often used to spread phishing and wallet-draining scams.
