The Dexscreener surveillance platform revealed that on January 22, attackers gained access to the official Nasdaq account. The STONKS memcoin was created on the same day. To give external credibility, the memcoin of crypto criminals was a copy of a real-life memcoin with the same name on the Solana blockchain.
Hackers registered a fake account as a "Nasdaq exchange affiliate" on the X network, and then hacked into the official Nasdaq account to retweet a post promoting a fraudulent crypto asset. Soon, the message of the scammers was detected and deleted, and the fake account was blocked. However, the criminals managed to attract about $80 million from investors and withdraw it.
Earlier, a representative of the blockchain oracle provider Chainlink, Zach Rynes, issued a warning about scammers who spread information about the fake XRP wallet of the US Treasury on the social network X.
