Crypto influencer Ben Armstrong has shared his opinions on SocialFi app FriendTech, the latest venture in the Web3 space. “Every influencer is promoting it. I was going to… But there are a lot of dark and unheard things going on,” warned Armstrong in his latest Twitter thread.

Armstrong started the thread with recent reports regarding a security breach at FriendTech that led to the data leak of over 101,000+ accounts. However, FriendTech had responded to the rumors stating that it was just someone scraping its public API that shows the association between public wallet addresses and public Twitter usernames.

“It’s like saying someone hacked you by looking at your public Twitter feed,” said FriendTech adding that The Block, the media outlet that shared this news, was irresponsible in its reporting.

However, Armstrong insisted that FriendTech’s response wasn’t assurance enough that the investors were all safe. “When [sic] the scrapped data, the hacker can locate your Twitter handle & target you with personalized DMs. They would look so real that most of you could fall for it. Recently, many fake friend tech airdrop ads are also running on Twitter. Be aware,” cautioned Armstrong.

To his followers, the analyst then posed the question of potential outcomes had their emails been leaked instead. Armstrong explained that hackers could send realistic phishing emails that can make it seem as though it was coming from FriendTech.

Once they got control over your email, they can take your Instagram or Twitter, anything. And can post a similar phishing on your socials to trap more and more people. With this, they can also have access to your photos and videos which you don’t want to share with the world.”<

Armstrong urged his followers to revoke FriendTech’s access to their Twitter accounts by clicking on the Security feature within Twitter Settings. He also insisted that his main intention behind this informative thread was to ensure the safety of his followers. Interestingly, Armstrong himself has been accused of running scams numerous times.
