Former Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao has issued a major security warning about the official X account of BNB Chain, which appears to have been compromised by hackers.
Several minutes ago, the account posted “$4” alongside the phrase “FOR THE MEME.” This was accompanied by a wallet address and a picture of CZ.
The obviously fraudulent social media post has been pinned by the attackers to gain more exposure. Notably, @BNBCHAIN boasts a whopping 3.6 million followers, which makes it one of the most popular cryptocurrency-related pages on X (and a very juicy target for attackers).
CZ has warned against clicking any suspicious links posted from the account, adding that the team is currently investigating the issue.
Binance’s Chinese account has also warned that the official English-language account of the BNB Chain has been hacked.
