On Wednesday, hackers targeted several prominent Twitter users to promote a meme coin called HACKED, running on the Solana network. The hacked accounts included those of Lenovo India, film director Oliver Stone, Yahoo News UK, and Brazilian soccer player Neymar Jr. However, the scam did not gain much traction, with the token generating only $278,000 worth of trading volume and having a market cap of just $5,700. Pseudonymous crypto sleuth ZachXBT noted that the hackers likely only made away with $8,000 despite the scale of the attack. Solana, the network behind the meme coin, has become popular for minting new tokens like meme coins. This is not the first time high-profile Twitter accounts have been targeted for crypto scams, with similar incidents occurring in the past.
