Arbitrum DAO confirmed the hack of its official governance account on X (@arbitrumdao_gov) and issued a security alert warning users not to interact with any links or posts from that profile. The team stated that it is working to regain access and clarified that the incident only affected the social media account, with no impact on the protocol or user funds.
During the unauthorized access, the account posted messages related to a supposed airdrop under the heading “Arbitrum snapshot confirmed.” The posts included a graphic banner and a link to the domain gov-arbitrum.com, a non-official site featuring a “Connect Wallet” button. The publication mirrored the format and language of previous announcements within the ecosystem.
The messages referenced users’ historical activity, mentioning interactions such as bridging, swaps, liquidity provision, and governance participation. The sequence of posts remained active until Arbitrum issued a public notice from its main account, instructing users to ignore any content from the compromised profile.
The team reiterated that no airdrop is currently active or confirmed and warned against connecting wallets to any links shared from the affected account. No losses have been reported so far. Arbitrum will provide updates once full control of the governance profile is restored.
