These attacks allowed hackers to use the accounts to promote fake cryptocurrencies, highlighting the growing security vulnerabilities in the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Hackers target Litecoin and other coins in cryptocurrency scam campaigns

On January 11, Litecoin revealed that unauthorized actors had accessed its official X account. The attackers posted fraudulent information, including fake Litecoin Tokens connected to the Solana Blockchain.

These unauthorized posts were quickly removed, but Litecoin confirmed that the investigation into the breach is ongoing.

“Litecoin’s X account was briefly hijacked and unauthorized posts were posted. These posts only last a few seconds before being deleted. We are still investigating the incident, but immediately discovered the authorized account was compromised and removed it,” Litecoin team stated.

Other cryptocurrency institutions were also targeted. Hackers hijacked Foresight Ventures’ account to promote a token called MingAI, which is described as an AI-driven cryptocurrency assistant.

To increase trust, the attackers provided links to the Token’s contract, a transaction tracker, and a Telegram group.

Aiccelerate, a decentralized investment platform, has encountered disruption of a different kind. Their accounts have been temporarily frozen, making some posts inaccessible. This creates more challenges for organizations to maintain their online presence.

While the financial impact on followers remains unclear, these incidents reflect a worrying trend of hackers using phishing links and scam ads to target cryptocurrency users. death. On-chain cryptocurrency investigator ZachXBT reports that between November and December, a hacker compromised multiple X accounts, stealing more than $500,000.

Furthermore, research from Scam Sniffer, a Blockchain security company, indicates that phishing attacks have increased to unprecedented levels in 2024. These attacks have caused more than $500 million in losses, affecting more than 330,000 cryptocurrency wallet addresses.

According to the company, the majority of incidents arose from fake accounts that led unwary users to malicious websites through individual comments and messages.
