Hackers Impersonate Saudi Crown Prince to Promote Fake ‘Official’ Memecoins

Hackers took control of the Saudi Law Conference's social-media account on X, using it to impersonate Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and promote fraudulent cryptocurrencies. In a series of now-deleted posts, the scammers used the name and image of the crown prince, who serves as Saudi Arabia’s prime minister, to promote an “Official Saudi Arabia Memecoin” as well as a “FALCON Memecoin.” The posts were accompanied by contract addresses to identify the tokens. The conference, a major legal event in the country, confirmed on LinkedIn that the official X account was compromised and advised users that any “content published through the account does not represent our views or official positions in any way.” “We confirm that we are urgently working to regain control of the account and disclaim all responsibility for any unauthorized posts made during this period. We also apologize to our followers for any inconvenience this may cause and urge everyone to exercise caution and refrain from engaging with any suspicious content posted through the account until further notice,” the Saudi Law Conference wrote. The incident comes amid controversy surrounding Argentine President Javier Milei over a post promoting a memecoin called Libra and its subsequent removal .
