A hacker breached 15 cryptocurrency accounts on X, including popular ones like Kick and The Arena, and stole around $500,000 by spreading fake meme coins. He disguised himself as the X team, sending fake copyright infringement notifications to lure users into phishing websites. After gaining access to passwords and 2FA, the attacker took over the accounts and posted fraudulent content. All the breached accounts are linked to the same addresses through which the stolen funds were transferred.
