ChainCatcher news, the Ethereum Foundation's email account was hacked, sending phishing emails to 35,794 people and recording the email addresses of 81 subscribers. The email falsely claimed that the foundation was collaborating with LidoDAO to offer a 6.8% staking yield on Ethereum. If users clicked the link in the email and approved the transaction, their wallets would be drained.

The foundation quickly stopped the malicious emails from being sent, closed the attack vector, and alerted the relevant parties. Investigations showed that while the attackers obtained some new email addresses, no victims lost funds in this attack.
