This is not the first warning from Yuga Labs about a possible hacker attack. In June, Yuga Labs co-founder Gordon Goner warned users about a possible attack on their social media accounts after receiving «credible information» that someone inside Twitter was helping to circumvent account security. Soon after, developers noticed suspicious activity on some official Twitter accounts and promised to pay special attention to the situation in addition to standard account security measures.
