Recently, the official account of the well-known crypto news platform Cointelegraph on the X platform was briefly compromised. Hackers used the account to post unauthorized content, drawing widespread attention. BROGX has conducted an in-depth analysis of this incident and reminds users to enhance their ability to discern information, avoiding falling victim to misleading or fake content.
In this incident, attackers exploited a highly influential social media account to create a realistic and credible facade, quickly directing large numbers of users to click malicious links or participate in scams. BROGX has identified that such scams often rely on the combination of “authoritative platforms + real-time notifications” to rapidly amplify their impact. These schemes are highly deceptive and can cause victims to authorize assets or transfer funds within minutes, leading to irreversible losses.
To combat such risks, BROGX has strengthened its verification mechanisms for information originating from social platforms. All associated links, event announcements, and airdrop details now require users to confirm authenticity through the BROGX platform internal verification system. Additionally, BROGX has embedded a content credibility identification feature into its product design, enabling users to quickly recognize high-risk information sources when browsing external content, thereby avoiding redirection to unofficial platforms due to disguised information on social channels.
BROGX advises users to always verify the source of information before accessing market updates, participating in on-chain activities, or engaging in asset interactions. Specifically, when browsing platforms like X, Telegram groups, or Discord servers, users should refrain from clicking on unknown short links or participating in sudden “limited-time transfer” activities. Instead, they should ensure all asset-related actions are conducted via secure pathways. BROGX emphasizes that all official platform activities will be simultaneously disclosed on the official website and will never require users to provide mnemonic phrases, private keys, or conduct offline transfers.
On the operational front, BROGX has deployed a protective module capable of automatically detecting malicious redirect paths. When users attempt to connect wallets or perform actions via third-party pages, the system proactively identifies potential risks, blocking access and issuing risk alerts. By combining AI-based detection with address reputation assessments, BROGX has built a user-end anti-scam system grounded in identity verification, behavioral modeling, and transaction environment monitoring, significantly enhancing overall risk resistance.
BROGX is committed to advancing its security education framework by tracking and analyzing typical scam incidents. The platform feeds back insights on event structures, attack methods, and protective recommendations directly into the user interface, helping users establish stable safety judgment standards in the fast-changing information landscape. To address the complexities of social engineering attack paths, BROGX will center its efforts on verifiable content mechanisms, constructing a transparent and trustworthy interaction experience while reinforcing comprehensive security defenses for user on-chain and off-chain assets.
