🚨 URGENT: Scroll Co-Founder X Account HACKED – Stay Safe! 🚨
The crypto community is on high alert today, January 25, 2026, as reports confirm that the X (formerly Twitter) account of Scroll Co-Founder Kenneth Shen (@shenhaichen) has been compromised.
🛡️ What’s Happening?
The hackers are currently using the account to impersonate X Official Staff and sending mass Phishing DMs. They are likely targeting users with "support" links or "exclusive" opportunities.
DO NOT:
Click any links sent via DM from his account.
Connect your wallet to any site mentioned in his recent posts.
Provide personal information or "verify" your account through unsolicited messages.
🔍 How Scammers Exploit the "Co-Founder" Trust
These attacks usually follow a specific pattern to drain your assets:
Account Takeover: Often via SIM-swap or social engineering.
Authority Baiting: They use the co-founder’s blue-check status to appear legitimate.
The Drainer: They send a link to a "claim" or "support" page that asks for a Signature Request in your wallet. Once you sign, they have permission to move your tokens.
💡 3 Rules to Protect Your Portfolio Today
Revoke Permissions: If you’ve clicked anything recently, go to Revoke.cash or your wallet's security settings to clear any suspicious approvals.
Hard 2FA Only: Switch from SMS 2FA to a physical security key (Yubikey) or an Authenticator App (Google/Authy). SMS is no longer safe enough for crypto.
Trust Nothing in DMs: Real founders will never DM you first to offer technical support or "secret" airdrops.
The Scroll team is working on recovery, but until then, MUTE and REPORT any suspicious activity from that handle.
Stay vigilant, Scrollizens. Protecting your seed phrase is your only job today! 🛡️
