Tron and Curve Finance X Accounts Hacked in $45K Scam, Exposing Crypto Social Media Risks

Tron DAO and Curve Finance experienced breaches of their official X (Twitter) accounts on May 2, 2025, resulting in a $45,000 theft due to sophisticated social engineering attacks. Attackers posted fraudulent contracts and solicited funds from users, exploiting verified account status to deceive victims. The incident involved key industry figures and continued attempts at fraud even after access was restored. This hack underscores persistent social media vulnerabilities, echoing similar high-profile compromises, and has sparked calls for stricter security measures across the crypto sector. Experts point to the growing need for advanced security protocols to safeguard both business and individual accounts in light of recurring breaches.
