The recent hack of the official ZKsync and Matter Labs accounts led to the distribution of fake SEC messages and phishing attempts through a fake airdrop.
Situation of the Account Hack
Hackers gained access to the official ZKsync and Matter Labs accounts on X by using compromised delegated accounts and began spreading false messages about an SEC investigation. These posts created panic among users.
Actions by the ZKsync Team
According to the latest update, the ZKsync team confirmed that both accounts were regained under their control. All unauthorized messages were deleted, and an internal investigation is underway. However, it was later noted that the accounts were still potentially under threat.
Impact on ZK Token
Following the attacks, the ZK token showed a decline of over 5%, trading around $0.07. This drop followed a previous decrease when news of the fake SEC warnings emerged. This incident marks the second security breach in a short period, raising questions about the platform's internal security.
The ZKsync account hack highlights the seriousness of current threats in the cryptocurrency industry and the need for enhanced security measures to protect users.
