Near Protocol 的 X 帳號被駭：隱密訊息和哥德式影像表面

Near Protocol 的官方 X 帳戶於 5 月 8 日遭到入侵，一系列使用哥德字體和莫爾斯電碼訊息的神秘推文被解碼為「黑暗即將來臨」。帳戶名稱和描述也根據推文內容進行了更改，但近協議沒有對此事件進行正式確認。該事件被懷疑是一次劫持，但一些支持者將這些推文視為生態系統未來發展的標誌。

Near Protocol's X Account Hacked, Cryptic Messages and Gothic Branding Appear

Near Protocol 的 X 帳號被駭，出現神秘消息和哥德式品牌

On May 8, 2023, at approximately 6:18 pm UTC, an unusual series of events unfolded on the official "X" Twitter handle of the Near Protocol blockchain. The account, which boasts a following of nearly two million, began posting a string of inscrutable tweets that deviated significantly from its typical content.

2023 年 5 月 8 日，世界標準時間下午 6:18 左右，Near Protocol 區塊鏈的官方「X」Twitter 帳號上發生了一系列不尋常的事件。該帳號擁有近 200 萬粉絲，開始發布一系列與典型內容大相徑庭的令人費解的推文。

One of the initial posts consisted of a 27-second video featuring a cryptic Morse code message. Upon decoding, the ciphertext revealed an ominous warning: "Darkness is coming."

最初的帖子之一包括一段 27 秒的視頻，其中包含一條神秘的摩爾斯電碼信息。解碼後，密文顯示出不祥的警告：“黑暗即將來臨。”

Subsequent tweets, written in a gothic font commonly associated with heavy metal bands, continued the enigmatic tone. The messages declared:

隨後的推文以通常與重金屬樂團相關的哥德式字體書寫，延續了神秘的基調。這些消息宣稱：

• "The sun rises in the east"
• "Take back your thoughts"
• "Darkness"
• "Reclaim your sovereignty"

In addition to the cryptic messages, the X account's profile name and description were altered to align with the gothic aesthetic. Screenshots of the compromised X account and its related tweets have circulated widely.

「太陽從東方升起」「收回你的思想」「黑暗」「收回你的主權」除了神秘的信息之外，X帳戶的個人資料名稱和描述也被更改以符合哥德式美學。受感染的 X 帳戶及其相關推文的螢幕截圖已廣泛傳播。

Despite requests for comment, Near Protocol has not yet responded to inquiries from Cointelegraph.

儘管請求置評，Near Protocol 尚未回覆 Cointelegraph 的詢問。

Community Suspects Hijack, While Others Seek Deeper Meaning

社區嫌疑犯劫持，而其他人則尋求更深層的意義

The crypto community on Twitter and blockchain investigators have expressed concerns that the X account may have been compromised. However, there has been no official confirmation of this at the time of writing.

Twitter 上的加密社群和區塊鏈調查人員對 X 帳戶可能已被洩露表示擔憂。不過，截至撰寫本文時，尚未得到官方證實。

Amidst the speculation, some Near Protocol supporters have interpreted the tweets as harbingers of a significant development within the ecosystem. They draw parallels to a similar incident in January, when the X account of crypto data aggregator CoinGecko was breached and used to conduct a phishing scam. CoinGecko subsequently regained control of its social media account.

在猜測中，一些近協議支持者將這些推文解讀為生態系統內重大發展的先兆。這與 1 月發生的類似事件有相似之處，當時加密資料聚合商 CoinGecko 的 X 帳戶遭到破壞並被用來進行網路釣魚詐騙。 CoinGecko 隨後重新獲得了對其社交媒體帳戶的控制權。

Near Protocol's Workforce Restructuring

Near Protocol 的勞動力重組

These events follow a recent restructuring within Near Foundation, the developer of the Near Protocol. In March 2023, the foundation announced layoffs affecting 40% of its staff, primarily in marketing, business development, and community roles. The foundation explained the decision as part of a strategic consolidation to focus on "a narrower and higher-impact set of activities."

這些事件是在近協議的開發商近基金會最近進行重組之後發生的。 2023 年 3 月，基金會宣布裁員，影響了 40% 的員工，主要從事行銷、業務開發和社區工作。該基金會解釋說，這項決定是策略整合的一部分，旨在專注於「範圍更窄、影響更大的活動」。

The foundation stated its commitment to supporting affected employees and assisting them in finding new opportunities within the NEAR ecosystem and beyond. The layoffs were reportedly prompted by an operational review that identified inefficiencies in the foundation's structure.

該基金會表示致力於支持受影響的員工並協助他們在 NEAR 生態系統內外尋找新的機會。據報道，此次裁員是由於一項營運審查發現該基金會結構效率低下而引發的。

Towards Decentralization

走向權力下放

The workforce restructuring and the cryptic tweets stand as stark reminders of the complexities and challenges faced by blockchain projects as they navigate the path towards decentralization. As Near Protocol evolves, it remains to be seen whether the current turbulence will lead to significant changes or merely serve as a passing storm in the protocol's history.

勞動力重組和神秘的推文鮮明地提醒人們，區塊鏈專案在走向去中心化的道路上所面臨的複雜性和挑戰。隨著近協議的發展，當前的動盪是否會導致重大變化，或者只是協議歷史上的一場短暫的風暴，還有待觀察。
