Pete Rizzo's Twitter Account Appears To Have Been Compromised
The Twitter account of Pete Rizzo, Chief Content Officer at Bitcoin Magazine and Editor-at-Large for Kraken, has been shilling JRNL token for the past 4 hours.
- A targeted scam perpetuated via Pete Rizzo's verified Twitter account is seemingly taking place, as the account started shilling seemingly unknown JRNL token on early Monday morning.
- "Many of you are familiar with my tweets regarding crypto-related journalism which is why I am delighted to announce $JRNL, a token created on the fundamentals of news and free-speech," posted the account.
- The accounts' comments are disabled, and the scammer's multiple posts are being boosted by hundreds of bot accounts.
- Similar well-targeted scam was also launched via Peter Schiff's account this weekend. That time, the scammers pretended to launch a gold-backed DeFi token.
