KuCoin Has Regained Control Of The Twitter Account After The Hack
The crypto exchange KuCoin has confirmed to take back control of the exchange’s official Twitter account. Earlier today, KuCoin stated in a Telegram announcement that its official Twitter account was hacked, reminding users not to click on suspicious links. KuCoin’s Twitter handle was hacked for roughly 45 minutes starting at 00:00 on April 24 (UTC+2). A counterfeit activity was uploaded, resulting in asset losses for multiple people.
According to the exchange, just the exchange’s Twitter account was hijacked in this instance. After the event, the team proceeded quickly to reclaim control of the account from official Twitter support. According to the notification, the assets on the exchange are safe. Moreover, KuCoin has detected 22 transactions, ETH/BTC, related to the counterfeit activity, totaling 22,628 USDT. To keep more people safe, the team is actively investigating and banning suspicious IP addresses. In addition to Twitter’s current 2FA, the KuCoin team will take additional security measures to strengthen the safety of their social media accounts in the future to avoid such instances.
