The accounts have unfortunately been hacked and we are working to regain access.

There is NO airdrop, new mint of TreasureTags, or anything else planned for today. Be safe.<\/p>— Treasure (@Treasure_DAO) July 24, 2023<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/blockquote>

The crypto game publisher tweeted on July 25 that, after working to regain access to the accounts, it was able to return the X accounts to their “rightful hands” and ultimately contain the issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company did not provide additional information about how the recent security compromise occurred or whether any victims were affected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mudit Gupta, chief information security officer at Polygon, discussed the difficulties of being a defender in the security world at the recent Ethereum Community Conference 6 in Paris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, attackers have it more straightforward because they only need to identify one entry point and ignore the others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
