Public blockchain network Terra has confirmed an ongoing scam assault via an official governance poll on Mirror, an in-house synthetic assets protocol.

According to Mirror, the aggressor launched a public poll on Mirror's official website, which proposes a freeze on the community pool in case of a scam.

"Poll 211 sending 25,000,000 MIR to itself. VOTE NO to any poll sending customs funds out."

"Poll# 208 is the 2nd set on on mDOT and is created by the same thief who started this wave of community puddle stealing with its fake-burn down poll #177."
