ChainCatcher message, NEAR official posted on X that around 2:25 AM this morning, the official X account of NEAR Protocol was hijacked, and the hacker posted a series of attacks on the Crypto ecosystem.

NEAR further stated that although the identity of the hacker remains unknown, there is reason to believe that this may have been carried out by the notorious hacker "Four Chan," though this is still just speculation. The security team led by security expert Mike Rotch conducted a thorough review of the incident and found that this was an isolated account hijacking event, with no one attempting to phish the NEAR community through malicious links, contract addresses, or other means.
