MyDoge Wallet reports an incident where a hacker was able to post messages on its X account using "Delegate Access," which was added during the previous hack and remained undetected all the while. After noticing this, it quickly swung into action to remediate the situation.
In good news, MyDoge Wallet announced it had regained control of its X account, removed the bad actor and notified X of the situation. This event has raised alarm bells, prompting users to stay vigilant.
Along these lines, MyDoge Wallet issues an alert to the Dogecoin community as well as the general crypto community as to how to secure their X accounts, urging everyone to check the "Delegate Access" section in their X settings for any suspicious activity.
It should be recalled that weeks ago, the official X account of MyDoge was compromised, including those of its CTO, CEO and other key personnel.
Thus, the swift and cautious move by MyDoge Wallet that thwarted this most recent hack attempt remains commendable.
