Hacker Hijacks 15 Accounts on X, Launches Memecoin Scams and Steals $500,000 in One Month: Blockchain Investigator

A pseudonymous on-chain investigator says he’s unraveling a malicious scheme that’s using hacked accounts on the social media platform X to promote a fake memecoin. ZachXBT says the cybercriminal stole the credentials of high-profile X accounts by sending phishing emails that impersonated the X team. The emails appear as a notice of policy and guideline violations from X to create a sense of urgency and get the recipients to click a malicious link. “A threat actor has stolen ~$500K over the past month by compromising 15+ X accounts (Kick, Cursor, Alex Blania, The Arena, Brett, etc). Each of the 15 ATOs were directly connected by mapping out the deployer address for each scam. The attacker bridged back and forth between Solana and Ethereum in an attempt to obfuscate the funding source.” Source: ZachXBT/X According to smart contract platform Neutron, the bad actor sent fake copyright infringement emails that told the targeted X users to reset their password and two-factor authentication (2FA) by visiting what turned out to be a phishing site. Once the X account is compromised, the attacker logs out all sessions, changes security settings and then controls posting access to share malicious links that promote a scam token. Says ZachXBT about security measures, “Make sure to limit email address reuse between services as well as using security keys for 2FA on important accounts whenever possible.” Don't Miss a Beat – Subscribe to get email alerts delivered directly to your inbox Check Price Action Follow us on X , Facebook and Telegram Surf The Daily Hodl Mix Disclaimer: Opinions expressed at The Daily Hodl are not investment advice.
