Litecoin Recovers Social Media Account After Brief Hack Promoting Scam Token On January 11, Litecoin’s official social media account fell victim to a brief hacking incident, during which a scammer attempted to promote a fake Litecoin token on the Solana network. The fraudulent post claimed, “LTC is now in Solana,” and included a contract address alongside a suspicious link to a scam platform called pump.fun. The post, riddled with grammatical errors, was quickly deleted once the Litecoin team regained access to the account. According to their update, the breach occurred through a compromised delegated account, which has since been deactivated to prevent further incidents. 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… — Litecoin (@litecoin) January 11, 2025 The team assured users that control of the account has been fully restored.
