Phishing Attack Targets ZKsync and Matter Labs X: False US Investigation Alerts Create Havoc

Phishing Attack on ZKsync and Matter Labs: On May 13, ZKsync and Matter Labs fell victim to a phishing attack that compromised their X accounts, leading to the dissemination of false alerts regarding an SEC investigation and a fake airdrop, which caused a nearly 5% drop in the value of their native token, ZK.

Security Concerns and Previous Incidents: This incident follows a prior attack on April 15 where a hacker exploited a vulnerability in the airdrop distribution contract. The repeated breaches have raised significant concerns about ZKsync's security protocols, despite user funds not being directly compromised.
