Nano Labs, a U.S.-listed BNB crypto treasury company, and its chairman Kong Jianping said on Sept. 28 that Kong’s X account has been recovered after a phishing attack. According to Kong, the attacker sent a phishing email to a publicly known email address he commonly uses. His AI assistant mistakenly identified a fake link in that email as an official X verification page, which led him to enter a verification code sent by X to the linked email account into the phishing page. Kong said that mistake resulted in the account being compromised. During the breach, the account briefly posted several scam messages. He warned users not to click unofficial links, saying they should remain cautious even if AI tools judge a link to be trustworthy. He also advised users to bind their X accounts to an email address that is not easily known to outsiders in order to reduce the risk of account theft.
