A hacker took over the Tron DAO X account, improperly soliciting around $45,000 in funds, confirmed by a spokesperson for Tron. On May 2, the Tron DAO account posted a deceptive contract address and sent messages demanding payments for promotional posts. The security team quickly regained access and warned the community about such scams. There are similarities between this incident and another hack on May 3, though any definitive connection is still under investigation. The attack was reportedly the result of social engineering. Meanwhile, Curve Finance also experienced an X account takeover, with the hacker posting fraudulent links and potentially contacting users who flagged the incident. The cause of Curve's hack hasn't been disclosed, but they confirmed there was no client-side compromise. These incidents reflect a growing trend of social media account hacks targeting high-profile crypto entities this year, including various other prominent accounts.
