  • ZKSync’s X account was hacked to promote a fake ZK airdrop; the post stayed live for 15 minutes.
  • No immediate impact on ZK price, but future fallout remains possible if trust declines.
  • ZKSync has not yet confirmed the breach; users are advised to avoid suspicious links.

ZKsync’s official X (formerly Twitter) account was briefly compromised to promote a fake ZK token airdrop.

The fraudulent post claimed that every follower was eligible to claim a share of the initial token supply. It directed users to a suspicious link: “distribution-zksync.io.”

The post remained live for approximately 15 minutes before being deleted. As of now, ZKsync has not issued any public statement confirming the breach.

Despite the hack, there has been no significant immediate impact on the ZK token price, yet. However, further fallout could still materialize if user trust erodes.

Security experts warn users to remain cautious and avoid interacting with any unverified links related to token distributions.

This incident highlights the growing frequency of social media breaches targeting major crypto projects.

This is a developing story.
