A hacker who replaced the Tron Dao X account was estimated to make nearly $ 45,000 in incorrectly demanding funds, according to a spokesman from Tron.
In a conversation with Cointelegraph, the Tron Public Relations Team confirmed that on May 2, the Tron Dao account posted a contract address and sent direct messages to seek payments in exchange for promotional advertising to the Tron account.
“Our security team quickly recognized the interference and cut off the access to the hacker, but we asked the community to continue to be vigilant. We would not ask any payments like this through DM or otherwise,” they said.
The team said that based on the forbidden contract of the Hacker -posted contract, the value of improper demand appears to be around $ 45,000.
Asked if the same hacker could be responsible for the supposed X account of the New York Post on May 3, Tron team Cointelegraph said there was “appearing some similarities” between two security incidents; However, they also warn that the investigation is ongoing and “any specific connection will be premature.”
After the access to access, Tron Dao Says During a May 2 X update they suspect the hack resulting from a team member “targeted with a malicious attack on social engineering, which led to their compromised account.”
“Even after the swing out and our access was restored, they continued to contact others, offered posts from our main account in exchange for payment,” Tron Dao said.
The Tron team is still investigating and said they are in contact with law enforcement. Tron Founder Justin Sun also accused the Crypto Exchange OKX not to act on a law enforcement request to freeze stolen funds connected to the attack.
OKX founder and CEO star Xu denied the allegation publicly, and the Sun removed the original post with the accusation.
