CertiK Twitter Hacked, User Funds in Danger

CertiK Alert, the official announcement channel, has confirmed that they are investigating a compromise of their CertiK X account. They are advising users to refrain from interacting with any posts until the security of the account is confirmed.

Interestingly, just minutes before the hack, the CertiK Security Leaderboard tweeted, “Something’s cooking in the #crypto space, and it smells like progress!” This raises speculations about a possible connection between the tweet and the security breach.

We will provide updates as the story progresses.
