People who still use NBA Top Shot<\/a> were the primary targets of a scam tweet posted to ESPN reporter Adrian Wojnarowski\u2019s account on X Saturday evening at about 6:30PM ET. The tweet referred to NBA Top Shot as a \u201cpopular\u201d NFT platform, despite the fact that current activity levels are a tiny fraction of what we saw during its peak<\/a>, and falsely claimed a \u201cfree NFT pack is available to all customers.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n The tweet linked visitors to a scam version of the NBA Top Shot website (the link went to a .org address instead of the official site\u2019s .com URL) that could attempt to drain assets from people who give it access to their crypto wallets. About a half hour later, the official Top Shot account posted, saying, \u201cThere is NO Free Airdrop happening on NBA Top Shot at this time, Please be careful and always double check links.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The post was eventually pulled from Wojnarowski\u2019s account after being live for nearly an hour. Because of his reputation for breaking news tweets, many NBA fans have alerts turned on for his posts and could have had account information stolen if they clicked the fraudulent link. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n A number of high-profile Twitter \/ X accounts continue to get compromised. Wojnarowski\u2019s recent NBA news posts have also been syndicated on Threads, however that account was not used for the scam. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
