Binance Issues Urgent Warning After BNB Chain X Hack

CZ, founder of Binance, quickly checked out the BNB Chain X Hack. He warned everyone not to be vigilant and not to connect the wallet to any sites. There were no exceptions.

Hack targeted the official English X (formerly Twitter) account of the BNB chain. The hacker placed a phishing link to direct users to link the crypto wallet. Security researchers suspect that the Inferno Drainer Collective is behind the link and steals money by impersonating a decentralized app (DAPPS). The goal was to let users lose clicks, connections and assets.

Here’s what Binance and CZ said:

BNB Chain X Hacks help to highlight the urgency of dealing with social media hacks within the cryptocurrency sector. Hackers get real accounts and use them to commit fraud. Thousands of users can experience this hack. This is because we now rely on X to provide real-time updates.

Binance founder CZ confirmed that the compromised X account has been restored and noted that the hacker stole $13,000. He emphasized that Binance’s security team is still tracking the incident. This could involve linked KYCs, highlighting the criminal liability that attackers face.
