Hackers began posting about the MUU token and others, clearly attempting to boost their price. The community quickly noticed the posts, and security firm Harpie confirmed the account breach.

Following the posts-induced price rise, the tokens experienced a sharp drop as bad actors liquidated their holdings. Dogwifhat developers regained account control, highlighting the vulnerability of social media to such attacks.
