Fraudsters Posted a Link and Information About a Fake Token Release
The Litecoin project page on the X microblogging platform was hacked. This was reported by Money at Home on Monday, January 13, citing a message from the team on the restored account.
The incident occurred on January 11.
Project representatives stated that the page was compromised through a delegated account, which was subsequently blocked. Nevertheless, the hackers managed to post information about the launch of a “new token on the Solana blockchain.” The attackers also included a link leading to a fraudulent resource.
The message about the fake asset remained online for only a few seconds. The Litecoin team continues to investigate the incident.
Litecoin's X account was briefly compromised today and posts that were not authorized were published. These were live only for a matter of seconds before being deleted. We're still investigating the issue, but immediately found a delegated account that was compromised and removed…
