UPDATE: The founder of Base.org was compromised in a phishing attack used to push a scam token.
Attackers gained access to their account and posted a fraudulent message promoting a so-called "community token"—a classic rugpull scheme. The post was quickly removed, but not before some users engaged.
This is a stark reminder: always verify contract addresses and ignore unsolicited token promotions—even from trusted handles.
If something feels off, it probably is.
Stay sharp. Stay safe.
