Litecoin's X account was hacked on Jan. 11, promoting a fake token on the Solana network. The hacker posted misleading information before the Litecoin team regained control. This incident is part of a growing trend of account hacks on X, with previous breaches affecting EigenLayer, Wiz Khalifa, and the Cardano Foundation, all promoting fraudulent tokens. These scams have resulted in significant trading volumes before being exposed, highlighting the increasing risks associated with social media account security in the crypto space.
