- ZachXBT shares the latest scammers’ attempt to access the Twitter legal request portal using stolen Italian government emails.
- Arbitrum Foundation received an “emergency disclosure request” on Twitter from scammers.
- ZachXBT did not reveal the people behind the emails but mentioned a former phishing scammer.
ZachXBT, an on-chain sleuth dedicated to uncovering rug pulls and exposing malicious individuals, took to social media and expressed his concern over scammers’ new tactics. He stated that scammers have stolen Italian government emails to access the Twitter legal request portal to ban accounts, lookup info, and remove posts.
In a detailed thread, ZachXBT explained how scammers use alleged Italian law enforcement email addresses to make legal requests. Moreover, earlier this week he shared that he received an email from Twitter sharing that Italian law enforcement had “requested” the removal of his five “very normal” tweets.
One of those tweets was about his delight over how the French Authorities started investigating the $6.3M NFT rug pull that he exposed. All of the tweets the alleged Italian law enforcement requested the removal of were about scams that he exposed.
Another example of the Italian law enforcement fake requests was against Arbitrum Foundation, a scaling solution company for the Ethereum blockchain. ZachXBT claimed that the request was made with a stolen identity.
Additionally, ZachXBT mentioned that Twitter did not side with the takedown request. One of his followers replied, “I guess someone feels exposed. Well done.”
ZachXBT did not share details of the people behind the scam, but he mentioned that Chase HZ might be potentially involved. Chase is a phishing scammer who stole millions, and the FBI seized his assets after ZachXBT exposed him. Chase messaged ZachXBT on Telegram mentioning the Italian law enforcement request he had received. ZachXBT exposed Chase through Twitter posts back in 2022. He shared how a SIM swapper sold Twitter panel access to Chase which he used to gain access to Twitter accounts, and phish people. HZ used the stolen fund to buy an expensive watch, and he used crypto to make the purchase. The address he paid with is linked to many Discord server attacks.
