TRON DAO Hacked on X — But Network Fundamentals Stay Strong 🔐🚀
The TRON DAO account on X (formerly Twitter) was compromised on May 2 in a social engineering attack, with hackers using it to post a malicious contract address and DM users.
TRON has since regained control and issued a warning:
❌ Ignore all DMs from May 2 — they were sent by attackers.
The team is actively investigating and has identified wallet addresses linked to the attack, even involving law enforcement.
Meanwhile… the TRON ecosystem is still thriving.
Here’s the flip side of the drama:
✅ TRON’s Kant Mainnet Upgrade is live
— Improved Ethereum compatibility
— Stronger network security
— Optimized APIs and node performance
📈 304M total addresses
💸 Highest network fees generated in April across all blockchains
On the OKX front, drama continues…
Justin Sun requested a freeze on the hacker’s wallet, but OKX’s CEO says no official request was received.
Sun’s original post? Deleted.
TL;DR:
Be cautious of fake links & DMs 🛡️
TRON DAO is securing the ecosystem
TRON’s growth trajectory remains bullish
