According to Wu, on-chain detective ZachXBT revealed on Twitter that a hacker has stolen approximately 500 thousand USD by compromising over 15 X accounts (including Kick, Cursor, Alex Blania, The Arena, Brett, etc.) in the past month. The hacker used these accounts to send targeted phishing emails impersonating the X team to steal credentials, and then launched a Meme coin scam. The attacker performed bridging transfers back and forth between Solana and Ethereum to obscure the source of the funds. All email attacks seem to follow the same script, sending fake copyright infringement emails; creating a sense of urgency; tricking users into visiting phishing sites and resetting their 2FA/passwords.
