Crypto Hack: Pump.fun X Account Breached

Pump.fun’s X Account Hacked to Promote Fake Token

• Pump.fun’s official X account was hacked to promote a fake governance token named “$PUMP.”
• The fraudulent token announcement included a contract address and promised rewards for “OG DEGENS.”
• Members of the crypto community quickly identified the activity as suspicious.
• The fake token announcement and contract address were removed from the platform.
• Blockchain investigator ZachXBT linked this hack to previous breaches involving Jupiter DAO and DogWifCoin.

Pump.fun confirmed the security breach, advising users to disregard the fraudulent “$PUMP” token and avoid interacting with the provided contract address. ZachXBT suggested that social engineering or exploitation might be involved in these attacks.
