TRON DAO stated on X platform that its official account was hacked on May 2, 2025 at 9:25 AM Pacific Time (12:25 AM Beijing Time on May 3). The attacker, during the period of control, posted posts containing contract addresses, sent private messages, and followed unfamiliar accounts. The official emphasized that they never post contract addresses or send private messages proactively, and users who received related messages on May 2 should delete them immediately and consider them malicious behavior.

TRON DAO stated that the incident stemmed from a team member falling victim to social engineering attacks, and even after regaining access to the account, the attacker still attempted to profit by using the main account to post content. The incident is currently under investigation, and relevant information has been submitted to law enforcement agencies, with efforts to hold the responsible party accountable underway.
