On January 26, the Twitter account of Staci Warden, the CEO of the Algorand Foundation, was hacked.
The breach was announced via an official post by the Algorand Foundation, cautioning the community against interacting with any links or responding to private messages from the compromised account to prevent potential asset theft.
Hacker Urges Community to Dump ALGO for ETH
The hacker, who took control of Warden’s account, posted a derogatory message aimed at the Algorand community and urged them to sell their ALGO tokens and buy Ethereum (ETH) instead. The attacker also promised to give away one Ethereum for every percentage that the price of the ALGO token loses during this week.
@StaciW_DC’s account has been compromised.
Please do not click on any links on her account or respond to DMs.
We are in the process of recovering it.

Data from CoinGecko shows that Algorand remains seemingly unaffected, with ALGO trading at $0.1
