As the Terra team confirmed recently, the official website is currently under hackers control. Reports indicate that the hacker group has replaced the website with a phishing site.
Hackers turned official Terra website into a phishing trap
The official Terra website currently contains serious vulnerabilities targeting users’ cryptocurrencies. In order to protect their users, they are asked to refrain from associating with the terra(dot)money domain for the time being, according to the Terra team statement. In this process, it is strongly emphasized that users do not share their full access information.
After the event, the official Terra account guided its users by providing reliable sources of information. Users will be able to receive information about updates through the official communication channels X (formerly Twitter), Discord and Telegram.

According to Terra developer Kiruse, the phishing site tries to spoof users’ sensitive information by impersonating the official Terra website. The malicious site is faking the standard update window. Thus, it directs users to share the keywords necessary to protect their keys and funds.
According to reports, users should be extra careful while updating their Terra Station Wallet. Thus, they can minimize potential risks.
What is a phishing site?
Phishing sites are websites that create fake copies of real organizations or platforms and try to steal users’ personal information. They try to seize confidential information by deceiving users with fake notifications. They often target sensitive data such as login information, credit card numbers. Users should carefully check URLs before using official sites and be attentive to ensure security. Terra’s official website is currently leaking seed passwords and credentials. Terra developers advise to stay away from the official website for a while.
Hack victim at Uniswap founder Hayden Adams
Meanwhile, the Twitter account of Hayden Adams, the founder of Uniswap, was recently hacked. The hacker group first shared several tweets with links to scam websites. The Uniswap Foundation soon said on X, “Hayden’s account has been hacked. Do not click on this link or links in similar tweets that may go up.”
A suspicious tweet from Adams’ account urged UniswapX users to go to a site hosted in Russia and check if they are eligible for UNI. A Twitter user stated that this website was registered the day it was hacked.
Hayden’s account was hacked.
Do not click this link – or links in similar tweets which might go up. https://t.co/P7oSwmbYER

The message claiming to have gifted UNI was deleted immediately afterwards. However, subsequent tweets sent from the account continue to appear to contain scam links. On the Terra side, users will need to refrain from interacting with the terra(dot)money domain for a while until official confirmation comes in. As we have quoted as Kriptokoin.com, harbor Protocol suffered serious losses last week.
