For months leading up to the airdrop, even before there was official confirmation of an ARB token, scammers were spinning up spoof Arbitrum airdrop links and promoting them on Twitter, Discord and Telegram in an effort to phish unwitting investors – gaining access to their crypto wallets and sensitive personal data. Before the airdrop went live, more than 10,000 people fell prey to fake Arbitrum airdrop schemes, according to at least one analysis shared with CoinDesk by the Web3 antivirus firm De.Fi.
