After publishing the post about look-alike Twitter accounts impersonating Olena Zlenska [1], Jesse La Grew, one of our SANS.edu undergraduate interns, wrote scripts to look for more accounts advertising the same cryptocurrency addresses or advertising similar cryptocurrency donations requests. We assume that these requests are fake because they do not advertise addresses used by other legit charities, and they do attempt to impersonate personalities associated with Ukraine’s government. The name “Olena Zelenska” may not be unique. We did not flag any accounts using this name as long as they didn’t advertise the cryptocurrency addresses used by the original fake account.
