Celebrity Accounts Compromised for Meme Coin Pumps

Popular television personality Caitlyn Jenner and rapper Rich the Kid made headlines on Sunday, May 26, by sharing meme coin posts from their X accounts, shaking the crypto world. Jenner’s account posted a message saying, “Let’s all win together! Send me some of your favorite memecoins here.” Similarly, Rich the Kid’s account also shared a meme coin post.

However, confusion arose when messages denying a hack attack on Jenner’s account followed these posts, and shortly after, Jenner posted a video saying, “A lot happened today, and yes, my crypto account is real.” Rich the Kid’s post was deleted shortly after. Blockchain researcher CodeXBT noted that there was a crypto wallet behind the posts made by Jenner and Rich the Kid, further raising the possibility of a hack. CodeXBT expressed concerns by saying, “With everyone being hacked, I wouldn’t trust the tweets posted today.”

Altcoin Manipulation Through GiganticRebirth’s Compromised Account

On the same day, prominent crypto investor GiganticRebirth’s account was also targeted by a cyber attack. The attacker took over GiganticRebirth’s account and made posts about Ordi (ORDI) and LUNA2, resulting in sudden price surges in altcoins. ORDI’s price surged by 15% in a short period. LUNA2, however, did not experience as significant movements as ORDI.

It was also revealed that minutes before making the posts, the attacker opened a futures trading position on ORDI specifically on crypto exchanges Binance and OKX. GiganticRebirth stated after the attack that the attacker bribed an X employee to take over the account. GiganticRebirth said, “I was informed that someone connected to Twitter offered a bribe to access my account two months ago, and then security measures were increased. However, if an X employee accepts money for administrative access, security cannot be guaranteed. Elon Musk, fix your operation.”
