A massive hacker attack has targeted the family of a former U.S. president. It was recently revealed that the official (X) Twitter accounts of two Trump family members, Tiffany and Lara, were hacked. The hacker sent out phishing links related to a new scam token on the Solana blockchain.
We learned about this from the official Telegram channel associated with the Trump family, World Liberty Financial:
ALERT: Lara’s and Tiffany Trump’s X accounts have been hacked. Do NOT click on any links or purchase any tokens shared from their profiles. We’re actively working to fix this, but please stay vigilant and avoid scams!
According to Lara’s husband, Eric Trump, the hacked Trump family accounts were blocked within minutes of the fraudulent post being published. The exact damage caused to users by this fake post is still unknown.
With the growing popularity of various meme coins on Solana, Tron, and other platforms, such scams are likely to become more frequent. We advise against trusting celebrities or other “professionals.” If you are trading such tokens, always research them thoroughly.
Trump’s Promises
Thanks to his statements, Trump has significant support from the crypto community. In his election campaign, he promises to fully support cryptocurrency and make the United States the crypto capital of the world. Whether Trump genuinely wants to support cryptocurrency or is just trying to gain votes remains unclear. Trump already has experience with cryptocurrency, having previously engaged in selling NFTs.
Trump’s promises have sparked a strong reaction in the crypto community. Some cryptocurrency supporters see this as an opportunity to improve regulation and develop the industry in the U.S. On the other hand, critics are skeptical of Trump’s intentions, believing that his statements might be populist and aimed solely at gaining votes.
Moreover, amid tightening cryptocurrency regulations by U.S. authorities, Trump’s proposals could be significant. If his vision becomes a reality, it could lead to substantial changes in the legal and economic structure of the U.S. cryptocurrency market, which, in turn, could impact the global cryptocurrency ecosystem.
His new project, World Liberty Financial, according to Trump, aims to bypass the banking system and make the U.S. the crypto capital of the world. There isn’t much detailed information about the project at the moment. It’s unclear whether Trump plans to launch his own token or has other plans for cryptocurrencies.
