June 19 (Cointime) - Jacob Canfield, a blockchain educator and advocate, has warned the XRP community about a fraudulent token allocation program scam that targets XRP owners through phishing emails. The emails, with the subject "the allocation program," claim to be from Ripple but are actually intended to drain users' XRP.

Canfield advises XRP owners to be cautious and avoid clicking on unknown or suspicious links, as cybercriminals frequently imitate large crypto organizations to steal users' digital assets and personal data. This is not the first scam or hack attack targeting the XRP community, as John Deaton, another XRP advocate, was recently targeted by a cyberattack that compromised his Twitter account.
