Litecoin Account Hacked: Fake Solana-Based Token Promoted

6 months ago


Today, it was reported that the official X account of Litecoin was hacked. The attackers used the account to promote a fake Solana-based token with the same LTC ticker.

Circumstances of the Hack

The hacking of Litecoin's account led to a post promoting a fraudulent token. The tweet included a contract address, briefly boosting the market cap of this fraudulent token to $27,000 before it dropped to $3,400. The misleading tweet was later removed.

Consequences and Reaction

Litecoin confirmed the hack and stated that investigations are ongoing. The team found and eliminated a delegated account that the hacker had targeted. This event is part of a larger trend of social media accounts of significant crypto projects and individuals being compromised.

Trends in Cyber Attacks on Cryptos

In December, a similar attack affected the Cardano Foundation’s X account, spreading false information about a nonexistent SEC lawsuit and promoting another fake Solana token. Blockchain investigator ZachXBT reported that from late November to December, one hacker managed to steal around $500,000 through meme coin scams using over 15 compromised X accounts.

Account hacking incidents of crypto projects are increasingly common, highlighting the need for enhanced security measures to protect user information and assets.
