ZachXBT warned people to stay away from the $HACKED token, as bad actors are behind this crypto project.
ZachXBT, a popular crypto detective known for raising awareness about crypto scams, unethical practices, and hacking alerts, regularly shares information about hacking incidents within the crypto market.
On 19 Sep 2024, ZachXBT reported that an unknown hacker hacked multiple influential crypto X accounts, using more than two dozen accounts to promote a Solana blockchain-based token called $HACKED. ZachXBT urged people to avoid this token at all costs.
This crypto detective revealed that the hacker earned nearly $9,000 through this hacking incident. According to ZachXBT, the hacker had invested a five-figure amount into this scam but ultimately failed to turn a profit.
The hack likely occurred because all the compromised X accounts were connected to the same site or app and had granted permission for it to post on their behalf.
These days, a huge number of crypto projects are coming to the limelight through Telegram mini-game-based concepts. Therefore, people also need to be cautious of any crypto token announcements by any crypto exchange, as they may be fake.
