BNB Chain X Account Hacked, CZ Confirms Breach

• •
  BNB Chain’s X account was compromised, CZ has confirmed.
• •
  Users are advised not to click on any suspicious links.
• •
  The team is working to regain access and secure the account.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has confirmed that the official BNB Chain X account was hacked, raising alarms across the crypto community. The compromised account is reportedly being used to spread phishing links and malicious content.

This breach has sparked immediate concern among users and security experts alike. CZ took to his personal social media account to notify followers of the incident, urging everyone not to click on any links or connect their wallets through posts made from the BNB Chain account.

While the team works to regain control, the incident serves as yet another reminder of how important account security is in the crypto space.

Security Measures You Should Take Now

Until full control is restored, do not engage with any posts from the BNB Chain X account. Clicking on a fake link or connecting your wallet could result in immediate loss of funds or exposure to malicious smart contracts.

If you’ve interacted with any recent posts or links from the BNB Chain X handle, take the following steps immediately:

• •
  Revoke wallet permissions via tools like revoke.cash.
• •
  Scan your device for malware or suspicious activity.
• •
  Change passwords and activate 2FA on all accounts.

Ongoing Investigation and Caution Ahead

BNB Chain’s security team, along with X’s support, are reportedly working to investigate the source of the breach. It’s still unclear how the hack occurred or what data might have been accessed.

In the meantime, the incident highlights the growing sophistication of phishing attacks in Web3. Even verified accounts can be compromised, so users must stay alert and skeptical of anything that looks even slightly off.

Crypto users are encouraged to follow official Binance and BNB Chain Telegram or Discord channels for verified updates and avoid clicking on any links unless absolutely sure of their legitimacy.
