Ripple Technical Director David Schwartz warned subscribers that the account of the famous lawyer John Deton, supporting the XRP, could be hacked to promote the Arch Public crypto project.

Schwartz He called XRP enthusiasts to maintain caution until it is proved that the Diton account was not compromised and is safe. Arch Public, where Diton stated that he began to work with the team of this project and created an account on the American crypto -based Gemini for launching XRP and Bitcoin Algos, caused suspicions. The tweet indicates that this initiative will help users “receive cash income” if they add more XRP to their accounts.

The post of Diton seemed strange to many of his subscribers. Typically, the lawyer’s publications are devoted to cryptocurrency law, the regulation of the industry and US policy, especially when he fought for the post of Senator Massachusetts. Diton is a popular figure in the crypto community, since he made a significant contribution to the trial between the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) against Ripple, where he defended the interests of more than 76,000 XRP holders.

In 2023, hackers already hacked the Diton account to promote the fraudulent Law token. In February, the attackers gained access to the account of the Nobel Prize for Economics Paul Krugman and on his behalf were Graduated by the fraudulent New York Times Coin (NYTC) fraudulent token.
