Ethernet Foundation Email Hacked, Hackers Promote Lido Pledge Phishing Scam

The Ethernet Foundation's email account was hacked and phishing emails were sent to 35,794 people, logging the email addresses of 81 subscribers. The emails falsely claimed that the Foundation had partnered with LidoDAO to offer 6.8% Pledge Ether returns. Users who clicked on the link in the email and approved the transaction would have their wallets emptied. The Foundation quickly blocked the delivery of the malicious email, shut down the attack path, and issued a warning to interested parties. Investigations showed that no victims lost funds in the attack, although the attackers acquired some new email addresses.
