Come build the most secure and private messaging network in the world—owned by the people who build it and use it.

This weekend, some @xmtp users, team members, and developers got hit by phishing attempts from vanity addresses (such as “0x0000…0000”) meant to look like the Ethereum null (or burn) address.

That actual null address is controlled by nobody and can never send messages on XMTP.

Yeah, I received like almost 10 of those scam onchain messages. Scary stuff. I was expecting them at some point, theoretically. 

Users may end up suing the wallet companies because of lack of filtering (safety measures, spam protection). 
This is people's finances at stake, not communications (eg: emails).
