Shiba Inu Official Account Compromised, Investors Warned of High-Risk Activity

The official X account of the Shiba Inu cryptocurrency project has raised concerns among investors and community members due to suspicious activity.

The SHIB COINBASE:SHIBUSD holders' and investors' attention was drawn to a critical situation by an emergency warning issued by one of the notable SHIB community figures, '@shibarium_'. The alert claimed that the '@Shibtoken' account had been compromised and could no longer be considered a safe, official source of information.

Users were strongly advised to treat any new posts, upcoming airdrops, or links published by the profile as high-risk, potentially fraudulent promotions. Some members suspect a sophisticated technical hack, a targeted SIM-swap attack, or a leaked database containing the social media team's account credentials.

The Shiba Inu officials and core developers have not yet issued any formal press releases or statements confirming or denying that the account was hacked. Amid the ongoing uncertainty, investors are advised to bypass social media channels entirely and verify transaction details directly on the blockchain.
