How Serpent the Former Pro Fortnite Player Hijacked 9 Twitter and Instagram Accounts to Steal \$3.5M via Meme Coin Scams and Gambled It All Away in Online Casinos

Serpent (SerpentAU) is a former professional Fortnite player from Australia who was released by the esports organization "Overtime" in June 2020

How Serpent the Former Pro Fortnite Player Hijacked 9 Twitter and Instagram Accounts to Steal \$3.5M via Meme Coin Scams and Gambled It All Away in Online Casinos

Over the past few months, I have been tracking a series of related leak incidents. These incidents involved over nine accounts on Instagram and X, including those belonging to McDonald's, Kabosu's owner, Usher, Andy Ayrey, Wiz Khalifa, SPX 6900, and others, and resulted in approximately $3.5 million being stolen through the release of the Pump Funmeme coin.

On August 21, 2024, the Instagram account of McDonald's was hacked, and a post promoting the bundled meme coin GRIMACE was published, after which the hacker began to spoof. From this pump and dump, over $690,000 was funneled into two wallets.

On September 3, 2024, the McDonald's attacker transferred 101.5 SOL to two addresses after the X account of actor Dean Norris was hacked, and these two addresses deployed and targeted the SCHRADER.

On September 6, 2024, the funds obtained from the McDonald's APT (Account Takeover) were transferred to a casino deposit address.

By conducting a time analysis, follow-up withdrawals shortly after the deposits can be identified.

Subsequently, B2fw transferred 4868 SOL to the casino deposit address ECb5v, which is also directly related to other APT (Account Takeover) incidents, including the leaks of Andy Ayrey and the Enoshima Aquarium.
