Gold News reported that NEO founder Da Hongfei wrote on X platform that he has regained control of his X account and expressed sincere apologies to the community, as this incident may have caused confusion or inconvenience to the community. According to Da Hongfei, on July 6th, Singapore time, he received an email requesting a password reset. He realized that his X account had been locked after seeing the email 50 minutes later. The hacker changed his X account password, enabled two-factor authentication (2FA), and then began tweeting with scam links. The intrusion was due to his previous connection of a third-party website/application (office and calendar management services) to his email. The hacker somehow used these permissions to gain access to my email content.
