The story X of the Ethereum Layer 2 Zksync Network and its Developer Matter laboratories were committed to the early May 13, and computer pirates falsely claim that US authorities were being tested by US authorities, among other messages of scams.
An X account related to ZKSYNC published on May 13, confirming that the accounts for ZKSYNC and Matter Labs committed, warning users who do not interact after the accounts shared links to a false Airdrop in an apparent phishing scam.
The laboratories of Zksync and Matter, pirated, both published a false statement claiming that Zksync was under investigation by the United States Stock Exchange and Securities Commission and that the Treasury Department could sanctions to the platform.
The head of Matter Labs communications, Lynette Nolan, confirmed to Cointelegraph that the X post now eliminated “is not legitimate” and both accounts are now “completely behind in the control of the team.”
“Enjoy the Zksync computer pirates. Instead of dropping a file and stealing a few dollars, they decided to scare the living shit of Ochain’s swords,” the co -founder of Crypto Startup G8keep Harrison Leggio, which passes “pop punk, published in X.
The false statement apparently aimed to block the price of the homonymous token of the platform, ZKSYNC (ZK), which has fallen around 2% in the last hour in the midst of the violation of the X account, Coingecko agreed.
The SEC has investigated cryptographic companies in the past, and many of these companies have chosen to publicly reveal when they have investigated the regulator.
The SEC has stopped many of its probes under the Trump administration, with Crypto.com, imminutable, Opensa and Robinhood Crypto, among others, confirming that the agency had finished investigations.
Zk fell 6.4% on the last day to operate around 7 cents, cooling from a rally of almost 38.5% enjoyed during the past week.

Nolan de Matter Labs said the company was investigating how accounts X were violated, and believed that it was through “compromised delegated accounts”, which allow users limited access to an X account, which allowed them to publish in their name.
Two hacks in so many months
It is the second commitment or platforms controlled by Zksync since April.
On April 15, an attacker violated the administrative account of the Airdrop Distribution Contract of Zksync and used a function to coin 111 million ZK tokens not claimed, for an approximate value of $ 5 million at that time.
The trick occurred in the middle of the platform delivering 17.5% of ZK’s supply to ecosystem participants.
Later, the accessory returned 90% of stolen tokens, agreeing to keep 10% as a reward.
