Last week, my X account was compromised.
A fraudster socially engineered X customer support to gain access, bypassing standard security features like 2FA and login notifications, and posted fake content about a memecoin.ย
Fortunately, the X security team worked with us to quickly take down the post, and my access was fully restored later that day.ย
Going forward, X account security has set up additional safeguards on my account to prevent this from happening again.

๐จMETAMASK NEARLY GOT HACKED BY NORTH KOREA
Consensys unknowingly hired a North Korean developer using the alias "Tyler Knapp" who contributed to MetaMask's core code for nearly a month.

Product releases were paused and a full code audit confirmed no backdoors were deployed and no funds were compromised.
$cashcat was deployed on june 18. robinhood chain didn't go public until july 1.
the deployer launched 7 tokens that week, all robinhood puns. cashcat is the only one he backed with an initial buy, and the only one he gave a social link.
754 wallets bought during those 13 days. when the chain opened, they held 93.2% of the supply. today: 6.7%.
they sold the entry.
