The popular futures trading platform Hyperliquid’s Twitter account has been hacked due to an insider threat; investors are being warned against phishing attempts.

The official Twitter account of Hyperliquid, a decentralized futures exchange that has recently gained popularity in the crypto market and whose trading volume is rapidly increasing, was hacked despite two-factor authentication (2FA).

One of the reliable sources on Twitter, @ThinkingUSD, reported that the account takeover was due to an internal threat coming from an employee within Twitter, now known as X(. This situation poses serious security risks for all crypto investors regarding announcements made through social media accounts.

As traders face an increased risk of loss due to fake announcements and phishing attempts, experts emphasize that no links outside of official channels should be clicked and that extra caution is required. In particular, price fluctuations may occur in the short term for tokens linked to Hyperliquid, making it critically important for investors to follow verified information.
