Efforts are currently being made to blacklist the domain and prevent further damage. This breach follows recent criticism of Sanctum’s strategy for distributing CLOUD tokens, which aimed to reward long-term commitment but resulted in community dissatisfaction. The project’s co-founder acknowledged that while some goals were achieved, the airdrop event failed to encourage positive community engagement.
