ChainCatcher news: Echo Protocol officially announced today that its official $X account (@EchoProtocol_) was successfully recovered this morning. The account is now operating normally, and the team has fully regained control.
According to the Echo team, the official account was hacked and briefly controlled by unknown individuals yesterday. During this period, false information and suspicious links unrelated to the project were posted, attracting widespread attention from the community. In response, the team immediately activated emergency response mechanisms and collaborated with $X officials, ultimately regaining control of the account today.
Echo Protocol stated that this incident only affected the social media account; the protocol itself is operating normally. All user funds and data have remained safe and secure throughout, and no abnormalities were detected in the platform’s contracts. Users can continue to use the platform with confidence.
The team also declared that it will continue to investigate the source of the hack and take legal action if necessary. Meanwhile, Echo Protocol has immediately strengthened its internal account protection measures and urges community members to remain vigilant about cybersecurity, avoiding clicking on unknown links or executing suspicious authorizations.
