Bluesky hit by a large-scale phishing attack, with more than 4,500 accounts compromised!
On October 18, the Bluesky security team publicly reported that attackers lured users with fake news about government grants.
Here are some key details:
More than 4,500 accounts were affected. The scam messages used government grants as bait. Compromised accounts may have been used to reach more users. The platform has taken steps to suspend and restore accounts. The specific method of intrusion has yet to be disclosed by officials.
The most dangerous thing about this kind of attack is that scam messages may come from accounts you already follow—or even know personally.
Users should avoid signing in to their accounts through unfamiliar links in social media posts and should review their account security settings.
