Foresight has issued a correction on earlier claims that Neutrl had proposed a protocol recovery plan and put it to a community vote. After review, the outlet said the message came from a suspected impersonation account, @NeutrlFnd, rather than from Neutrl’s official account. As of publication, Neutrl’s official account had not posted any announcement about a recovery plan or a vote.
The suspected fake account showed several warning signs. Its display name was written as "NeutrI Foundation," using an uppercase "I" to mimic a lowercase "l." Foresight also noted that the account was registered in April 2012, had posted only 11 times in its history, used a purchasable organization verification badge, and had replies restricted on its posts.
Foresight added that wording in the post about offering proportional compensation and recovery allocations to users holding positions at the time of suspension matched common phishing language. The voting link may have been designed to lure users into connecting wallets and signing malicious approvals.
Foresight has corrected an earlier report about Neutrl, saying claims that the project had proposed a protocol recovery plan and sent it to a community vote were traced to a suspected impersonation account, @NeutrlFnd. As of publication, Neutrl’s official account, Neutrl, had not posted any announcement about a recovery plan or a vote.
Several red flags were identified on the account
According to the correction, the account carried multiple unusual features. Its display name appeared as "NeutrI Foundation," using an uppercase "I" in place of a lowercase "l." The account was registered in April 2012, had only 11 posts in its history, used an organization verification badge that can be purchased, and restricted replies on its posts.
Post language and voting link raised phishing concerns
Foresight said the phrase about providing proportional compensation and recovery allocations to users who held positions at the time of the suspension matched common phishing wording. The voting link may have been intended to prompt users to connect their wallets and sign malicious approvals.
