The hackers allegedly hit came a few days after an article was published by Enigma, which was trying to educate its users, to avoid phishers, fraudsters, spammers.
"As we work hard to build the future, encrypt and invest, we will need a few minutes to talk about security," said the Enigma Project publication.
“Due to our rapid growth, our community has become a target. The worst data της κρυπτογραφικής σκηνής, απατεώνες και phishers, προσελκύονται από projects και κοινότητες σαν τα δικά μας”.
The above incident marks the fifth Ethereum theft within two months:
