NEAR official posted on X that around 2:25 this morning, the official X account of NEAR Protocol was hijacked, and hackers published a series of posts criticizing the Crypto ecosystem (after investigation, some of the content has not been deleted).
NEAR added that while the identity of the hacker is still unknown, there is reason to believe it may have been carried out by the notorious hacker "Four Chan", although this is still only speculation at this time. The security team, led by security expert Mike Rotch, conducted a thorough review of the incident and found that it was an isolated account hijacking incident and that no one had attempted to phish the NEAR community through malicious links, contract addresses or other means.
