ZachXBT: A hacker has hacked over 15 X accounts in the past month for meme coin scams, stealing approximately $500,000

ChainCatcher message, ZachXBT disclosed on platform X that a hacker has stolen approximately $500,000 over the past month by compromising more than 15 X accounts (Kick, Cursor, Alex Blania, The Arena, Brett, etc.). These accounts were targeted through phishing emails impersonating the X team to steal credentials, followed by initiating Meme coin scams. The attacker has been bridging transfers back and forth between Solana and Ethereum in an attempt to obfuscate the source of the funds.

All email attacks seem to follow the same script:

• Send fake copyright infringement emails;
• Create a sense of urgency;
• Lure users to visit phishing sites and reset 2FA/password.
