According to BlockBeats, on September 5, NEAR officials posted a message on X saying that around 2:25 this morning, the official X account of NEAR Protocol was hijacked, and the hacker posted a series of posts criticizing the Crypto ecosystem (after investigation, some content has not been deleted).
NEAR added that while the identity of the hacker remains unknown, there is reason to believe that this may have been done by the notorious hacker “Four Chan”, but this is still just speculation. The security team led by security expert Mike Rotch conducted a thorough review of the incident and found that this was an isolated account hijacking incident and no one attempted to phish the NEAR community through malicious links, contract addresses or other means.
