BNB Chain’s X account may be compromised with users urged not click on any links.
CZ made the public announcement via his own X account on Wednesday.
Phishing remains a prominent attack vector in the crypto industry.
The official X account for BNB Chain has been compromised, prompting an urgent alert from Binance co-founder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao.
“Please do not click on any links recently posted from this account,” Zhao wrote on Wednesday. “The teams are investigating and will share updates as soon as possible.”
Decrypt confirmed the breach after the account posted a fraudulent link luring users with a fake rewards program.

The unauthorized post invites users to vote on an “upcoming $BSC rewards date,” falsely promising early $BSC rewards to those who participated within the first 24 hours.
Phishing attempts often deploy similar tactics designed to steal users’ digital assets and other information.
The potentially fraudulent link appeared shortly after the BNB Chain confirmed that its X account “may have been compromised.”
Binance did not immediately respond to Decrypt’s request for comments.
