ZKSync X Hacker publishes false SEC probe in obvious efforts to crash token

The X -representation of the Ethereum Layer 2 ZKSync and its developer matter -Labor were affected on May 13th on May 13th, whereby Hacker incorrectly claimed by the US authorities of US authorities.

An X account published on May 13th in connection with ZKSync, which confirms the accounts for ZKKSYNC and MATTER Labs, were endangered. The users warn not to interact after the accounts had shared the left to a fake airdrop in an apparent phishing fraud.

The chopped ZKSync and Matter Labs have both published a fake explanation in which ZKKSync was examined by the US security and Exchange Commission and that the financial department could impose sanctions on the platform.

Labs Labs Communications Head Lynnette Nolan confirmed CoinTelegraph that the now deleted X-Post is “not legitimate” and that both accounts are now “completely back in the control of the team”.

“Call to the ZKSync hackers. Instead of falling a token and stealing a few dollars, they decided to frighten the lively shit from Onchain Degens”, Harrison Leggio, co-founder of Crypto Startup G8keep, the “pop-punk” bonuser, written on X.

The fake explanation apparently aimed at overthrowing the price of the self-titled tokens ZKSync (ZK) of the platform, which, according to Coingecko in the last hour, fell by around 2% in the last hour in the middle of the X account injury.

The SEC has examined crypto companies in the past, and many of these companies have decided to publicly disclose if they were examined by the regulatory authority.

The SEC has stopped many of its probes under the Trump administration, whereby, among others, Crypto.com, unchangeable, Openea and Robinhood Crypto, confirmed that the agency had ended investigations.

ZK sank by 6.4% in the last day to act with around 7 cents and cools down from a rally of almost 38.5% that enjoyed it last week.

Nolan from Matter Labs said the company examined how the X accounts were broken and believed that this was “endangered delegate accounts” that enable users to enable access to an X account to a limited extent so that they can post their name.

Two hacks in so many months

It has been the second compromise of ZKKSYNC-controlled platforms since April.

On April 15, an attacker violated the Airdrop sales contract from ZKSYNC and used a function to minken 111 million not claimed ZK tokens with a value of around 5 million dollars at this point in time.

The hack occurred in the middle of the platform, which spends 17.5% of the ZK offer to ecosystem participants.

The attacker later returned 90% of the stolen tokens and agreed to keep 10% as a bounty.
