According to ChainCatcher, Symbiotic published an article on X to review the social media account security incident.
Symbiotic said that in addition to hacking into the X account, the hacker also purchased a typo domain on September 19, 2024 that looked exactly like the domain posted by the official Symbiotic account. In addition, the hacker also created a Google Workspace account on the domain, designed to impersonate an email with the corporate X account.
Symbiotic mentioned that although access to the X account has been restored, it is still investigating the incident. No possible avenues of recourse are currently ruled out, and all feasible options to hold the hacker accountable are being explored. Symbiotic will notify and cooperate with the appropriate legal authorities to assist in their investigation, and will continue to provide new dynamic updates in the future to ensure that this issue is resolved.
After the hack, Symbiotic created a Telegram announcement channel to provide additional backing for all official announcements. The link to this channel can be found on the official domain.
