According to TechFlow, NEAR tweeted that its official X account was attacked at around 2:25 today, and the hacker subsequently posted a series of posts criticizing the crypto ecosystem.

While the identity of the hacker remains unknown, the incident may have been carried out by hacker Four Chan.

In addition, a 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.
