Pump.fun, a Popular Solana-based Meme Coin Creation and Trading Platform, Had Its X Account Hacked

Pump.fun, eine beliebte in Solana ansässige Plattform zum Erstellen und Handeln von Meme-Münzen, ließ ihr X-Konto am 26. Februar 2025 gehackt. Die Hacker verwendeten das kompromittierte Konto, um ein betrügerisches „Pump“ -Token zu bewerben

Pump.fun, a well-known platform on Solana for creating and trading meme coins, fell victim to an X account hack on February 26.

The hackers used the compromised account to promote a fraudulent "PUMP" token, claiming it was the official governance token of the Pump.fun company platform. The fake post read, "Introducing $PUMP the OFFICIAL pump.fun GOVERNANCE token, where Democracy has never been this degen.

Die Hacker verwendeten das kompromittierte Konto, um ein betrügerisches "Pumpen -Token" zu fördern, und behaupteten, es sei das offizielle Governance -Token der Pumpe -Fun -Unternehmensplattform. In dem gefälschten Beitrag wurde "$ pump die offizielle Pumpe ein.

We will also be REWARDING our OG DEGENS."

The hackers, who identified themselves as "GPT-4.5," threatened to delete the Pump.fun X account if the token reaches a $100 million market cap.

Despite warnings that the token's supply was heavily concentrated among a small group of wallets, the PUMP token briefly reached a $5 million market cap before rapidly crashing.

Trotz der Warnungen, dass das Angebot des Tokens auf eine kleine Gruppe von Brieftaschen stark konzentriert war, erreichte das Pump -Token kurz eine Marktkapitalisierung von 5 Millionen US -Dollar, bevor er schnell stürzte.

The Pump.fun team acknowledged the breach and urged users to disregard any messages from the compromised account.

"Our X account has been hacked. Please do not interact with any messages from this account as they are fraudulent," the team said.

Alon Cohen, co-founder of Pump.fun, confirmed the breach and said all security protocols had been followed. Suggesting a possibility, Cohen said there might be an issue within X itself.

"It seems like there was a vulnerability on X which allowed an attacker to take over the account despite all security measures being in place. We are working closely with the X team to resolve this issue."

"Es scheint, als gäbe es eine Verwundbarkeit bei X, die es einem Angreifer ermöglichte, das Konto zu übernehmen, obwohl alle Sicherheitsmaßnahmen vorhanden waren. Wir arbeiten eng mit dem X -Team zusammen, um dieses Problem zu lösen."

The hackers continued to use the compromised account to promote additional scam tokens, such as "hackeddotfun" and "HACKED.

Pump.fun has been one of the most active platforms for launching Solana-based meme coins, with over 8 million tokens deployed since its launch in January 2024. However, the platform has faced controversies, including the LIBRA token launch in Argentina that led to a $107 million rug pull.

Pump.fun war eine der aktivsten Plattformen, um Meme-Münzen auf Solana-basierte Meme zu starten. Über 8 Millionen Token sind seit ihrem Start im Januar 2024 eingesetzt. Die Plattform hat jedoch Kontroversen ausgesetzt, darunter den Start von Libra-Token in Argentinien, der zu einem Rug-Rug-Rug-Rug-Rug-Rug-Rug-Tiefsts in Argentinien geführt hat.

On-chain investigator ZachXBT connected the Pump.fun hack to similar attacks on Jupiter DAO and DogWifCoin, speculating that social engineering tactics were likely used to compromise the X accounts.

On-Chain-Ermittler Zachxbt hat den Pumpenhack mit ähnlichen Angriffen auf Jupiter DAO und Dogwifcoin verbunden und spekulierte, dass die Social Engineering-Taktiken wahrscheinlich zur Kompromisse der X-Konten verwendet wurden.

He noted the commonalities in the hackers' messages, which included a playful tone, mentions of GPT-4.5 and a Bitcoin address for donations.

"I want to be clear: the teams at both Jupiter and Pump.fun are not at fault. These scams are being perpetrated by someone who is purposely trying to defraud people."

"Ich möchte klar sein: Die Teams von Jupiter und Pump.Fun sind nicht schuld. Diese Betrügereien werden von jemandem begangen, der absichtlich versucht, Menschen zu betrügen."
