Tension Arises Between Justin Sun and an Exchange CEO Following Yesterday’s Incident

TRON DAO's official X (formerly Twitter) account has been hijacked by malicious people. A fraudulent contract address was shared through the account, while direct messages were sent to some users and different accounts were started to be followed. It was stated that a member of the TRON team was targeted and his account was compromised as a result of a social engineering attack. Following this incident, it was reported that some users experienced asset losses. TRON founder Justin Sun called on cryptocurrency exchange OKX following the incident. Sun requested that the funds transferred to OKX as a result of the fraud be frozen and an immediate investigation be launched into the incident. “Following the illegal takeover of the TRON DAO X account, we call for the immediate freezing and investigation of the fraudulent proceeds deposited into OKX. We believe that OKX will act responsibly and will not allow its platform to become a haven for fraudulent proceeds. Law enforcement has already been notified of the incident and an investigation has been launched,” Justin Sun said in a statement. Related News: Are the Expected FED Interest Rate Cuts Coming?

You can submit some preliminary evidence regarding the incident through public reporting channels, and we can temporarily freeze it.
