According to Odaily, NEAR Protocol's official X account was compromised around 2:25 AM today. The hacker posted several messages criticizing the crypto ecosystem, some of which remain undeleted. While the hacker's identity is still unknown, there is speculation that the notorious hacker 'Four Chan' might be responsible, though this remains unconfirmed.

A security team led by expert Mike Rotch conducted a thorough investigation into the incident. They concluded that it was an isolated account hijacking event, with no attempts made to phish the NEAR community through malicious links, contract addresses, or other methods.
