MyDoge, the most popular Dogecoin wallet, tells the story of how it managed to repel a recent hacking attempt on X, previously Twitter. It also reminds users of additional safety precautions they should take.
A statement released on X claims that MyDoge Wallet discovered an illegal effort by nefarious people to take over its X account.

According to MyDoge Wallet, there was an event when a hacker used “Delegate Access,” which was implemented during the last attack and allowed them to write messages on its X account while remaining undiscovered. It swiftly moved to correct the problem after realising this.
Fortunately, MyDoge Wallet declared that it had taken back control of its X account, eliminated the malicious user, and informed X of the circumstance. Users are being advised to exercise caution in light of this incident.
In keeping with this, MyDoge Wallet alerts the Dogecoin community and the wider crypto community on how to safeguard their X accounts. It advises everyone to look for any unusual behaviour in the “Delegate Access” area of their X settings.
Recall that many weeks prior, MyDoge’s official X account—which included the CTO, CEO, and other important employees—was hacked.
Therefore, it is still praiseworthy that MyDoge Wallet took prompt and careful action to foil this most recent hack attempt.
As of this writing, DOGE was up $0.081 or 0.90% over the previous day. According to cryptocurrency expert Ali, the number of new addresses on the Dogecoin network has increased by an astounding 1,100% in only the past week, indicating a remarkable expansion in the network.
An all-time high of 247,240 new DOGE addresses were established on January 29, exceeding all previous records. Ali believes that DOGE pricing may soon benefit from a sustained rising trend in network growth.
