Ripple CTO Emeritus David Schwartz has alerted XRP Ledger users about a significant increase in fake airdrops and giveaway scams targeting them on social media platforms like Telegram and Instagram. These scams often involve fake accounts impersonating Ripple executives and ask users to send XRP with promises of receiving more in return, which Ripple never requests. The company also highlighted ongoing cyber threats linked to North Korean hackers who have stolen substantial crypto funds in 2026. Users are urged to remain cautious and skeptical of any free XRP offers or requests for wallet details to avoid falling victim to these scams.
