#KaitoX账户被盗

On March 16, Kaito AI founder Yu Hu's X account was compromised, leading to the posting of false tweets that caused market panic. Although the team quickly clarified the situation and regained control, the incident highlighted the project's shortcomings in security systems and crisis response.

A dual test of technology and trust

The hacker caused price fluctuations simply by stealing a social media account, reflecting the insufficient security investments of some project teams. Such teams often neglect external window management due to limited resources, resulting in the risk of a 'single source of information.' If the official account lacks dual verification or a decentralized permission mechanism, it can be maliciously exploited, undermining investor confidence.

Investors need to be rational: beware of information source and liquidity risks

In the market panic, some investors sold off assets due to trusting false information, exposing irrational behavior. The information in the crypto field is mixed, and caution is needed:

Cross-verify: Major news should be verified through multiple channels such as official websites and communities; assess project resilience: focus on the team's crisis response speed rather than their apology posture;

avoid low liquidity tokens: niche tokens are easily manipulated, be wary of FOMO emotions.

Industry reflection: security needs proactive defense

Project teams should strengthen account security (e.g., 2FA authentication), establish public opinion emergency plans, and guide the community in identifying false information. Investors should enhance their ability to discern information and jointly build a strong market defense.
