Tha hacker also managed to get access to the X accounts of some of the global organisations such as the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the European Union in Brussels.

Scammer Loses Money in Recent Hack

As per the report from ZackXBT, most of the scammers have reportedly lost money in this process with the top traders only earning around $1,000 with the Solana meme coin HACKED’s market cap at just $67,000. ZachXBT also speculates that the compromised accounts likely granted permissions to the same app or website.

As a result, ZachXBT urged user to regularly check their app permissions for any suspicious access. He advised, “Always go to X settings and revoke connected apps you don’t use,” and provided step-by-step guidance: “Settings -> Security and account access -> Apps and Sessions or Connected apps.”

ZachXBT noted that the scammers managed to remove liquidity from the account by making a mere $8,000. Besides, cryptocurrency hacks have propped up once again this year.

In one such latest development, Ethena Labs, the organization responsible for the decentralized synthetic dollar protocol, recently suspended its website following a domain account hack on the platform.

Similarly, the DeltaPrime DeFi protocol lost nearly $6 million following a security breach on the Arbitrum Network earlier this week.
