Attention to the Former Prime Minister's Meme Coin Shares: This Time It's Not Real! - Koin Bulletin

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad's X account was hijacked by hackers and used for a fake cryptocurrency scam.

In a fake post attributed to Mahathir Mohamad, it was announced that Malaysia's official cryptocurrency was launched on the Solana (SOL) network. Scammers, trying to attract users' attention by providing a wallet address in the post, introduced a token they created via the pump.fun platform. However, according to the analysis conducted by the blockchain analysis firm SlowMist, the related smart contract was associated with a group previously involved in malicious transactions.

Be careful with the shares from hacked accounts ####

These types of attacks are frequently used by hackers who take over the accounts of famous individuals to redirect users to fake investments. Previously, the accounts of various government officials were also compromised and used for fraudulent activities using similar methods. Investing based on social media posts in the cryptocurrency world carries great risk and always requires verification through blockchain analysis.

However, sometimes things can turn upside down. For example, when Donald Trump actually released his own TRUMP memecoin a few weeks ago, many users thought it was a hacking attack. Although there were initially those who did not believe in this sharing, risk-taking investors made great profits. This also shows that in the crypto world, anything can happen at any time, and it is necessary to be careful as well as to take advantage of opportunities.
