Rocket Pool’s X Account Faces Fake Hack Warnings

Rocket Pool, a major Ethereum Decentralized Application (DApp), is dealing with an issue involving alleged hack warnings on its X (formerly Twitter) account. Users are advised to be cautious and ignore these messages while the problem is being resolved.

According to reports from X users, Rocket Pool’s X account received six warning posts alleging a potential hack.

These messages, suggesting system vulnerabilities and advising users to relocate their assets for safety, appeared around 6:30 p.m. UTC. Despite being removed at 7:05 p.m., they reappeared shortly after, confusing the community.

The messages distributed on Rocket Pool’s X account included warnings about a system vulnerability and references to ‘fake deposit attacks.’

Concerns have been raised about the authenticity of these warnings, especially because they were accompanied by other inappropriate posts on the account.

Rocket Pool responded to the situation by officially communicating on alternative social media platforms, urging users to disregard the warnings circulating on the X account.

These advisories gained traction in the community, emphasizing the importance of ignoring potentially false information.

Notably, this incident is similar to one that occurred on January 9, when the SEC’s X account was compromised, resulting in the dissemination of false information about Bitcoin ETF approvals.

The recurrence of such incidents highlights the challenges that platforms face in protecting against unauthorized access and misleading posts.

While efforts to resolve the issue continue, the suspicious posts remain on the Rocket Pool X page. The development team is actively working to address the situation, emphasizing user caution and patience while the issue is thoroughly investigated and resolved.
