**Summary**

The prominent blockchain security firm CertiK's X account, previously Twitter, was hacked on January 5th, with 342,900 followers. False information about a vulnerability in Uniswap's router contract was posted, and the legitimate Revoke team confirmed the falsity of the message and warned about a fake website. CertiK is actively investigating the compromise and advised users to avoid engaging with any posts. This incident is not the first time CertiK's social channels have been hacked, and phishing attacks have drained several wallets in the digital assets space, with the CEO of Nest Wallet suffering a phishing attack resulting in the loss of $125,000.

Prominent blockchain security firm CertiK’s X account (previously Twitter) was hacked on January 5th. The compromised account, with a follower count of 342,900, stole crypto from users’ wallets through carefully disguised phishing links. One of the links posted falsely asserted that a vulnerability had been identified in Uniswap’s router contract. The misleading tweet urged users to visit a fake RevokeCash page, claiming it would enable them to reverse any vulnerable approvals.
