TechFlow news: Echo Protocol, a key infrastructure protocol built on the Bitcoin (BTC) ecosystem, has officially announced the successful recovery of its official X account (@EchoProtocol_). The account is now operating normally, and the team has fully regained control.
Echo Protocol is a protocol designed to advance decentralized application development within the Bitcoin ecosystem, aiming to bring smart contract scalability and cross-asset interoperability as critical infrastructure to BTC. As Web3 and Bitcoin integration deepens, Echo is regarded as one of the key innovation leaders in this space.
According to the Echo team, the official account was previously compromised and temporarily controlled by an unauthorized individual, during which false information and suspicious links unrelated to the project were posted, drawing significant community attention. In response, the team immediately activated its emergency response mechanism and coordinated with X's official support to successfully regain control of the account.
Echo Protocol stated that this incident affected only the social media account. The protocol itself continued operating normally throughout, with all user funds and data remaining secure and unaffected. No anomalies have been detected in the platform’s contracts, and users are assured it is safe to continue using the service.
The team further declared it will continue investigating the source of the breach and may pursue legal action as appropriate. Additionally, Echo Protocol has immediately strengthened internal account security measures and urges all community members to remain vigilant, avoiding clicking on any suspicious links or approving unknown authorizations.
Founder JP also issued a public statement via his personal Twitter following the restoration of the official account. For reference, please see the following link: https://x.com/jonphayyy/status/1934158340256624699?s=46
