"Metis Discord has been compromised, do not click on any “Airdrop link” or any other link.

Stay safe while our team resolves this."

"We have identified and resolved the recent issue. A spam bot was sending numerous fake airdrop links into our channels, but we've cleared it up and disabled the necessary channel settings.

Thanks to our noble community for the prompt actions on reporting. Remember to always monitor any links sent to the group or your DMs. When in doubt, ask a Metis moderator in public for assistance."

Metis is a layer 2 rollup platform offering simple and fast smart contract deployment within the network. A post on the Discord channel claimed that reward claims had been enabled for both Metis holders and community members. However, this was a phishing attack run by a bot. The Discord was restored within an hour of the first Twitter report. It is unclear whether any members of the community fell for the phishing attack.
