🚨 ALERT: Scroll Co-Founder's X Account Hacked! Beware of Phishing 🚨
The crypto community is on high alert today after the X (formerly Twitter) account of Scroll co-founder Haichen Shen (@shenhaichen) was compromised.
The Attack: A Masterclass in Deception
This wasn’t a simple password leak. The attackers used a highly sophisticated approach:
Impersonation: The hackers rebranded the profile to look like official X/Twitter Support.
The Hook: They sent out "Copyright Infringement" notices and fake security alerts.
The Trap: Users were urged to click a malicious link to "appeal" the violation or "verify" their account within 48 hours.
The Goal: These links are designed to drain wallets (Wallet Drainers) or steal account credentials.
🛡️ Why This is a Big Deal
Scroll is a leading Ethereum Layer-2 solution. When a founder’s account is hijacked, the "Trust Factor" is weaponized. Attackers often repost content from other verified accounts to make their phishing links appear legitimate.
⚠️ Critical Safety Rules:
Trust No One: Even if a post comes from a verified "Blue Check" founder, NEVER click links promising airdrops, rewards, or account "appeals."
Official Channels Only: Always verify news via the official @Scroll_ZKP account or their Discord.
No Seed Phrases: No official support team (X, Binance, or Scroll) will ever ask for your seed phrase or for you to connect your wallet to "fix" an account issue.
