Stellar Blade Account Hacked to Sell Crypto, Developer Responds

by

I’ve been quite shocked and concerned lately about the surge in cryptocurrency scams on various social media platforms. These supposed accounts offering digital currencies as a quick path to wealth are everywhere. So, you can imagine my surprise when I noticed that the official X account for the game “Stellar Blade” seemed to be dabbling in crypto today. However, it didn’t take long for me, or any other dedicated fan, to realize that the account had been compromised. The game’s director has issued a cautionary statement asking players to steer clear of it until we get more information.

Around 8 AM Eastern Daylight Time, the official @StellarBlade account on platform X started posting suspicious content. A series of posts advertising “stellar-coin.com” appeared in the feed, with invitations for users to click through for a potential opportunity to collect large amounts of cryptocurrency. To add more suspicion, the account disabled comments, accompanied by a statement claiming it was done to safeguard its supporters from phishing, false responses, and scam bots. Notably, disabling comments prevents others from alerting Stellar Blade followers against clicking the links in these posts.

Hey there fellow gamers! I’ve noticed quite a few posts that seem to tie in Stellar Blade characters and visuals to advertise something called the “Stellar Blade Coin.” They boast impressive sums of money claimed already, which is supposed to draw us in and click those links. These same posts dangle enticing in-game rewards like exo-suit and weapon upgrades – all leading back to this alleged “Stellar Coin” site.

Now, I’m not saying it’s definitely a sales pitch, but with so many followers, it sure does seem like an effort to cash in on crypto. And let me tell you, the internet can be a tricky place. Worst-case scenario, those links could be a sneaky attempt at snagging our personal info. So, as always, be cautious out there and only trust reliable sources!

It’s likely that fans of Stellar Blade quickly picked up on some suspicious activity. The posts exhibit numerous indicators of a compromised account involved in fraudulent activities, such as an excessive number of rapid posts around the same time and urgency in the messages. Plus, there was the tempting offer of substantial amounts of money through crypto drops. However, any lingering uncertainty has been cleared up with the announcement that the Stellar Blade account has indeed been hacked.

What’s Going on with the Official Stellar Blade Account on X

Shortly following these postings, the director of Stellar Blade, Hyung-Tae Kim, posted an update on their personal profile. They declared that the official Stellar Blade account had been hacked, stating the ongoing content was not authorized. Tae advises fans to avoid interacting with the posts and exercise caution instead.

Hi there! This is Hyung-Tae Kim, the Director of Stellar Blade.

I regret to inform you that our official Stellar Blade account has been hacked and we’re currently seeing unauthorized posts about cryptocurrency airdrops and questionable signup promotions being uploaded.

Please refrain from engaging with or sharing these suspicious messages. We are working diligently to resolve this issue and appreciate your patience and understanding during this time.

The article continues by mentioning that the developers of the game Stellar Blade are currently negotiating about recovering the hacked account. Unfortunately, it’s uncertain when (or if) the account will be restored to its original owners. It’s important to understand that any claims of Stellar Blade cryptocurrency or in-game tokens from this account are false. Therefore, gamers should refrain from interacting with or trusting these suspicious posts, as they could be a part of a scam.

Hey fellow gamers! Stay cautious out there. Avoid interacting with or clicking on any suspicious posts that offer deals from what seems to be compromised Stellar Blade accounts, or any similar ones. Crossing my fingers that this gets sorted out soon, and those posts disappear quickly. Have a safe gaming session!
