BNB Chain Regains Control After X Account Phishing Breach

BNB Chain’s official X account was recently compromised and used to post fraudulent links promising “rewards.” In a public alert, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao urged followers not to click the links.

The chain later confirmed it had regained full access to the account, estimating the losses at around $8,000. The breach deployed a single phishing contract and ten malicious links. Most losses came from one victim who lost about $6,500, with smaller amounts spread among other users. BNB Chain is investigating the root cause and has pledged to compensate affected users.
