Hello everyone, I really need help. as you have probably seen, eigenLayer’s X account was hacked and tweeted a fake airdrop link. I was one of the first victims. I interacted with the link coming from the official eigen layer account, I checked the veracity of the link several times. So I got 17.8 ETH siphoned off as well as $2000 of PEPE…

I don’t know what to do, this represents all the savings of several years of work… Could you tell me what to do? I really don’t know what to do, I’m completely confused

Thank you in advance for your help, hoping to be able to recover something  
Good evening

Hi, please open a ticket within the EL discord. While I do not have any specific details to share about the Twitter compromise in regards to on-chain activity, the mods in Discord should be able to give you some general web3 safety little advice like revoking your wallets permissions and potentially contact a whitehat to front run any withdrawals.
