Active Shiba Inu enthusiast @theshibdream has spread the word about a new scam targeting the Shiba Inu community. It is being spread via an NFT airdrop.
New NFT scam warning to SHIB army
@theshibdream tweeted that individuals within the SHIB community have been getting an NFT airdrop from "Shibaswapdeployer," which has not been authorized. He warns the SHIB community that they should not open these non-fungible tokens or interact with them in any other way; they may be filled with a malicious code and, therefore, break the security of the wallets of those who open them.

These NFTs from "Shibaswapdeployer" or from another source that is unreliable or unknown, @theshibdream warns, must not be opened but should be reported immediately.
He also asked SHIB users to stay alert should they receive any unexpected airdrops and never share their private keys with anyone, even within the SHIB community.
110 million SHIB burned
According to data shared by the Shibburn tracker of burn transactions, over the period of the past 24 hours, thanks to the Shiba Inu community's joined forces, a total of 110,895,889 SHIB meme coins were sent to "inferno" wallets.
The two largest chunks of SHIB that were destroyed comprise 46,877,110 and 43,564,865 Shiba Inu. Still, the burn rate of SHIB is in the red zone by approximately 90%.
This is lower than the overall amount of SHIB burned yesterday when an anonymous wallet transferred a whopping 1,104,224,812 SHIB.
