The official Twitter (X) account of the New York Post appears to have been compromised, with users reporting receipt of phishing direct messages promoting a cryptocurrency scam. Additionally, the official account of Ram, a public figure, was hacked and used to promote a fraudulent coin on the Launchcoin platform. Followers and community members have warned others not to engage with these accounts or purchase the promoted cryptocurrency, emphasizing that the coin is a scam. Some individuals reported mistakenly buying the fake coin and have requested refunds from platforms like Coinbase. The incident highlights ongoing risks of social media account breaches being exploited for crypto-related scams.
