Supra Labs CEO’s X Account Hacked in Fake Token Promotion Scheme

Published by

The X account of Supra Labs CEO Josh Tobkin was compromised on June 5, with attackers using the profile to promote fraudulent $SUPRA tokens on Solana and Ethereum and direct users to a phishing airdrop website. Supra Labs quickly warned users not to send funds or connect wallets, stressing that its official token operates on the project’s Layer-1 mainnet launched in 2024. The incident highlights ongoing social engineering risks in the crypto industry, where compromised social media accounts are frequently used to distribute scams. Team members issued alerts across community channels while Tobkin works to regain account access. No confirmed user losses have been reported so far. Supra Labs urged users to rely only on official communication channels for updates and token information.
