Yi He, who was appointed as the second CEO of Binance, had her WeChat account hacked last night.
Binance founder CZ explained that Yi He's account was used for the promotion of a memecoin called Mubarakah (MUBARAKAH), and this incident caused a significant pump in the price of the related memecoin.
In her recent post, Yi He, who warned users, has now announced good news about an airdrop. Accordingly, it was stated that users who lost money in the hack of their WeChat account will receive a BNB airdrop.
Binance Co-CEO He Yi announced via X that he will provide BNB airdrop to users who suffered losses from memecoin purchases after the hacking of his WeChat account.
According to He Yi, some users purchased the promoted memecoin from his account, and after a malicious message was posted from the hijacked account, they suffered losses.
Yi He stated that the airdrop is aimed at users who traded memecoins on the Binance Web3 Wallet and Alpha platform during the hacking incident.
He Yi emphasized that neither he nor any other Binance employee or official account recommended the memecoin and that this compensation is a one-time event.
He Yi also added that the airdrop related to this will be completed within 24 hours.
"My WeChat account, which I do not use very often, was hacked early this morning. Some users who saw my posts and WeChat messages blindly purchased this memecoin because they trusted me and suffered losses.
This situation upset me a lot. Therefore, I will personally airdrop a certain amount of BNB to users who lost money by buying and selling this meme coin using Binance's wallet that does not require a private key and the Alpha platform during the time when my WeChat account was hacked.
The airdrop will be completed within 24 hours.
Neither I nor Binance's official account, nor Binance employees will recommend any meme coin. Such content lacks long-term sustainability, and there is no price support for tokens.
