A Dogecoin influencer has shared his thoughts on how the hack that occurred on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the My Doge Wallet must have happened. Apparently, there is the possibility that the hack was done to prove a point. 

Dogecoin Wallet Account Hack “Well Planned And Diabolically Timed”

Dogecoin 지갑 계정 해킹 “잘 계획되고 사악한 시기”

In a post on his X (formerly Twitter) platform, Dogecoin influencer Mishaboar stated that the hack on MyDoge’s X account was “well planned and diabolically timed.” Regarding the timing, the influencer was referring to the fact that it occurred on Dogecoin’s anniversary. He believes that the hack was done to hijack this “special Dogecoin day.”

Dogecoin의 영향력자인 Mishaboar는 자신의 X(이전 Twitter) 플랫폼에 게시한 게시물에서 MyDoge의 X 계정에 대한 해킹이 "잘 계획되었으며 사악한 시기"라고 말했습니다. 시기와 관련해 인플루언서는 도지코인 기념일에 일어난 일이라는 점을 언급했다. 그는 이 "특별한 Dogecoin의 날"을 탈취하기 위해 해킹이 이루어졌다고 믿습니다.

As to how it happened, Mishaboar noted that it was most likely a SIM-swap attack. If so, then it is similar to what happened to Ethereum’s co-founder Vitalik Buterin. Buterin lost his X account to hackers back in September, with him confirming later on that it happened as a result of a SIM swap attack. 

After making his suspicions known, Mishaboar also used the opportunity to admonish the community on how to keep their account safe. He advised that they enable 2FA authentication on X using an authenticator application or a physical security key. He noted that this is even more crucial for accounts with a large following. 

Mishaboar는 자신의 의심을 알린 후 이 기회를 이용하여 계정을 안전하게 유지하는 방법에 대해 커뮤니티에 권고했습니다. 그는 인증 애플리케이션이나 물리적 보안 키를 사용하여 X에서 2FA 인증을 활성화하라고 조언했습니다. 그는 이것이 팔로어가 많은 계정의 경우 더욱 중요하다고 지적했습니다.

The community has the influencer to thank, as he was one of those who quickly warned others that MyDoge’s X account had been compromised at the time the hack occurred. The hackers had posted phishing links, which could have led to users’ wallets being drained. 

These scams and hacks seem to be on the rise this period as Shiba Inu’s scam detector Susbarium had recently warned of impersonators and scammers in the community who are out to mislead users. 

Shiba Inu의 사기 탐지기 Susbarium이 최근 사용자를 호도하려는 커뮤니티의 사칭 및 사기꾼에 대해 경고함에 따라 이러한 사기와 해킹이 이번 기간에 증가하는 것으로 보입니다.

MyDoge X Account Restored

MyDoge X 계정이 복원되었습니다.

Alex, the Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of the My Doge Wallet, confirmed in an X post that the MyDoge X account has been restored. In a subsequent post, Alex also confirmed Mishaboar’s suspicions as he stated that his phone was SIM swapped. He admitted that 2FA was not enabled on the account as that would have “prevented the hack immediately.”

My Doge Wallet의 최고 기술 책임자(CTO)인 Alex는 X 게시물을 통해 MyDoge X 계정이 복원되었음을 확인했습니다. 후속 게시물에서 Alex는 자신의 휴대폰이 SIM으로 교체되었다고 말하면서 Mishaboar의 의심을 확인했습니다. 그는 "해킹을 즉시 방지"할 수 있었기 때문에 계정에서 2FA가 활성화되지 않았다고 인정했습니다.

Meanwhile, just like he mentioned at the time the hack occurred, he reiterated that all user wallets and data were safe and that the hackers didn’t have access to any of these. According to him, the hackers can’t have access to such information as the company doesn’t have access to users’ funds since it is a self-custodial wallet.

한편, 그는 해킹 당시 언급한 것처럼 모든 사용자 지갑과 데이터는 안전하며 해커는 이들 중 어느 것에도 접근할 수 없다는 점을 거듭 강조했습니다. 그에 따르면 회사는 자체 관리형 지갑이기 때문에 사용자의 자금에 접근할 수 없기 때문에 해커는 이러한 정보에 접근할 수 없습니다.
