Careful everyone with phising scams out there! ⚠️

There has been few incidents recently where community members lost their profiles due to a phishing scam on Twitter and its heartbreaking to see folks losing their profile even if they can rebuild the audience, its not the experience we are looking for even on a protocol level. 😞

We build the Lens Protocol to be agnostic to various social networking use-cases and also realized that being able to secure your profile is extremely important for the users. While we have seen some iterations of tools to secure profiles, we introduced a way to add additional security (and make it normie proof) measures for Lens V2 that would mitigate similar attempts.

Since Lens has grown so much in the past year and has an active community, we feel that we need to take action sooner and deploy a solution that helps to secure the profiles on similar scams. Therefore, we are going to release an update that improves significantly the security of the profiles before Lens V2. This is our priority now. ⚡️

Thank you for helping out to point the issues and if anyone has experienced a phising attack or seen one, please DM across Lens.

Rest stay tuned for the update 🌿

                                                  wow i'm interested to see how you respond to this issue, like you said since it's agnostic and permissionless you can't reclaim the profile for them.. really is more dangerous for people to steal a profile and phish from the "real" account

                                                    Is there any way to add security key lock to the profile? Even if someone steals the profile, can't use without security key so it becomes useless

                                                          Screw Twitter. I'm starting to feel that if a project REQUIRES Twitter to do test stuff on or to participate in their quests then that project is probably a scam or a grift. Twitter is a FASCIST NAZI platform. They will not ban you if you create a bot to scam people but they will if you tell that bot to go kill itself and stop scamming people. And when you try to contact a real person at Twitter that like eBay is impossible. I don't trust Twitter and I mo longer trust any web3 platform where Twitter is a Requirement

                                                                Dear @stani.lens I hope you are doing well. It has been more than 10 days since I have had problems with my profile. The profile info disappeared (and the cover image) and it's impossible to load it again (I load it but it doesn't save), there was a whole week in which I couldn't post anything (I got "code 400" as error) but the worst of all is that it's been many days with no response from anyone. I have three tickets sent to Lenster support, posts mentioning it (with tags to lens members) and I only received a total silence. If I don't get answers soon I think I will simply stop being a member of this community. I understand the possible mistakes in a new project as ambitious as this one but the fact that there is no serious contact or support is very disappointing. Hope somebody of the staff can write me at least something... Greetings, José
