The official X account for heavy metal band Metallica was hacked with the exploiters using the breach to promote a Solana token with the ticker METAL.
Metallica’s team appears to have regained control of the account and has deleted all posts mentioning the token.
Metallica’s X account first posted about the token in a June 26 post, claiming it was made in partnership with Ticketmaster. It was actually launched on the Solana-based token deployer pump.fun.
Ticketmaster did not make an announcement about the partnership and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
