According to ChainCatcher, Echo Protocol officially announced today that its official X account (@EchoProtocol_) was successfully recovered this morning, and the account is now operating normally, with the team fully regaining control.
According to the Echo team's explanation, the official account was hacked and briefly controlled by an unidentified person yesterday, during which false information and suspicious links unrelated to the project were posted, attracting widespread community attention. In response, the team immediately activated an emergency response mechanism and collaborated with X's official platform, ultimately successfully reclaiming account control today.
Echo Protocol stated that this incident only affected the social media platform account, with the protocol itself operating normally, and all user funds and data remaining completely safe. The platform's contracts showed no abnormalities, and users can be assured of its safety.
The team further declared that they will continue to investigate the source of the hack and take legal action if necessary. Additionally, Echo Protocol has immediately strengthened internal account protection measures and urged community members to enhance cybersecurity awareness and avoid clicking on any unknown links or executing suspicious authorizations.
