Noble Official Account Hacked
On October 22, 2025, the official X (formerly Twitter) account for Noble—a Cosmos-based stablecoin blockchain project—was compromised by hackers. The attackers posted phishing links disguised as opportunities for $NBL token airdrops, using Solana as the platform for their fraudulent activity.
Swift Team Action
Noble team members, including Jelena Noble, promptly issued warnings through their personal accounts, advising users to beware of scams. The crypto community rapidly shared these alerts to help minimize potential losses.
Account Recovery and Impact Assessment
By the early hours of October 23, the Noble team had regained control of the official account, removed all fraudulent posts, and restored the account profile. No reports have indicated any disruption to Noble’s regular operations following the incident.
Security Advisory
Scam Sniffer has confirmed that Noble’s official X account was hacked and used to distribute phishing content. Users should avoid clicking suspicious links and sharing confidential information.
How to Prevent Similar Attacks
To reduce the risk of account breaches and phishing scams, users should take the following steps: Always verify the authenticity of official sources. Never click on airdrop links or unfamiliar URLs—even if posted by accounts claiming to be official. Be especially vigilant when handling wallets, private keys, or sensitive assets, and never enter private keys or seed phrases on third-party sites.
Crypto Asset Security Best Practices
Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) on social media and wallet accounts, and regularly review account activity logs to spot any unauthorized access. Rely on official announcement channels, such as the project website or trusted community accounts, for accurate updates. This helps avoid misinformation from impersonators.
