Ripple's JoelKatz warning against fake XRP airdrop site
While not recommended, a visit to the site shows a Medium-like interface containing the announcement of a fake airdrop featuring a blog post from Brad Garlinghouse, the CEO of Ripple Labs Inc. Surprisingly, the post has received a phony 5,326 claps, a figure that is possibly engineered to give the website and the announcement some legitimacy.
The announcement contains a number of phishing links which, when clicked, might result in unforeseen exploitation of the user's funds. The fraud in creating the site was also manifested with the impersonation of top figures in the industry like Ben Armstrong , Carl from the Moon and Crypto Rover, among others, to comment on the post.
