BNB Chain’s X account got hacked. Again. Who’s surprised? It’s crypto, folks. Of course, the only thing they’re holding is your wallet keys. 🚨
Some genius hackers used the official BNB Chain account to promote a “BNB HODLer Airdrop” that’s basically a Nigerian prince email but with a blockchain twist. All you had to do was connect your wallet… and then what? Say goodbye to your crypto! 💀
CZ Weighs In: “Don’t Click the Links, Unless You Like Being Scammed”
Binance’s CZ confirmed the hack with the enthusiasm of someone who’s seen this movie 10 times. He warned users not to interact with the suspicious links. Because, obviously, you’d never click a random link from a blockchain company’s social media. Right? 😂
“ALERT: The BNB Chain X account is compromised. The hacker posted a bunch of links to phishing websites that ask for Wallet Connect. Do NOT connect your wallet,” CZ wrote, as if this isn’t the most obvious thing since Satoshi invented pizza.
Binance’s security teams suspended the account. Because nothing says “trust us” like locking down an account after it’s already been breached. Classic crisis management. 🤷
“Always check the domains very carefully, even from official X handles. Stay SAFU!” CZ said, as if he just discovered fire and wants to warn everyone not to touch it.
Earlier, CZ hinted the account “may have been compromised.” Translation: “We’re not sure what’s happening, but maybe don’t trust us yet.” Cryptic, but accurate. 🔮
The hacker’s post announced a “BNB Chain HODLer Airdrop 53234234” (because why not add a random number for extra legitimacy?) and begged BNB holders to “connect your wallet” to a site that looked like Binance, but with one typo. Spoiler: It wasn’t Binance. 🤡
The phishing scheme used WalletConnect, which is great until it’s not. Once connected, hackers could’ve drained your wallet faster than you can say “I should’ve read the fine print.” 💸
Binance filed takedown requests for the phishing sites. Because of course, they waited until the damage was done to act. 🕵️
The post was deleted, but not before some poor souls saw it. Community members helped by yelling “DON’T CLICK THIS!” in all caps. Because nothing says “trust me” like a stranger on Twitter. 🙃
Don’t interact with this post! Stolen Account 🚨

BNB’s price barely blinked. At $1,010, it’s down 1.08%. Because what’s a hack when you’re trading? Investors are either brave or sleep-deprived. 🤷
Investor confidence? More like investor delusion. Phishing scams are everywhere, but somehow, people still fall for them. Pro tip: If it sounds too good to be true, it’s probably a scam. Or a Nigerian prince. 🤔
X (formerly Twitter) is basically a honeypot for hackers. Why trust a verified account when the PM of Kenya got hacked to promote a “Kenya Token”? It’s like trusting a spammy LinkedIn ad. 🙄
“Always check the domains very carefully,” CZ reiterated, as if this isn’t basic internet hygiene.
Until Binance fixes things, ignore all posts about airdrops or wallet connections. Because nothing says “fun” like losing money to a scam. 🎉
BNB Chain didn’t respond to BeInCrypto’s comment request. Probably too busy scrambling to fix their own mess. 🛠️
