After the hack, a panic campaign hit Binance.
1,083 accounts posted 11.7K hostile tweets in 78 hours, switching narratives as Binance responded. Most of these accounts rarely mention Binance. The aim appeared to be pushing withdrawals.

A data analysis of X activity following the Binance hack found 1,083 accounts posted 11,700 hostile tweets in roughly 78 hours, generating about 20.93 million impressions. Some 3,354 posts were judged false and sorted into 15 rumour types, with 79.6% being replies on others' threads. Narratives shifted in step with Binance's responses: "inside job" after the loss-coverage promise, "insolvency" after impact disclosure, and "bank-run mobilisation" after the withdrawal timetable. Of 641 most active accounts, 452 showed coordination ties, forming 444-account networks across 11 groups. Some 89% of accounts rarely discussed Binance normally, posting at 24.6 times baseline. Accounts over 50,000 followers posted 6.2% of negative tweets but captured 68% of impressions. The author attributes camp labels as inferences, not allegations.
