On May 2, 2025, the Tron DAO's said  X account was compromised, leading to an estimated $45,000 in illicitly solicited funds. The hacker posted a fraudulent contract address and sent direct messages requesting payments for promotional advertising. Tron swiftly identified the breach, revoked the hacker's access, and reassured the community that such solicitations would never originate from their official channels. The incident is believed to have resulted from a targeted social engineering attack on a team member, and investigations are ongoing.?

Similarly, Curve Finance's X account was recently hijacked by a malicious actor who posted a link to a fake CRV airdrop, urging users to register before a specified deadline. The Curve team, assisted by cybersecurity experts, regained control of the account and confirmed that no client-side compromise had occurred. The exact method of the hack remains unclear, but the incident highlights the vulnerability of high-profile accounts to social media breaches.

These events add to a growing list of high-profile X account takeovers, underscoring the need for enhanced security measures and vigilance within the cryptocurrency community. Both Tron DAO and Curve Finance have emphasized the importance of community awareness and caution against unsolicited requests for payments or personal information.?
