Jupiter was recently hit by a major security breach that compromised its X (formerly Twitter) account. As of this writing, the Solana-based DEX aggregator is still trying to control the situation. Damage Control The hacker exploited Jupiter to promote a fake meme coin, $MEOW, causing widespread panic among the community. The scam reportedly tricked unsuspecting traders into purchasing the fraudulent token, leading to millions of dollars in losses within minutes. Jupiter Mobile quickly issued a warning to its users, urging them to avoid clicking on any links shared through the compromised account. Despite these efforts, the hacker continued to post about another suspicious token, $DCOIN. Increasing Concerns Unfortunately, many users reported losing their hard-earned tokens, highlighting the severity of the breach and the vulnerability of assets in the DeFi space. The hack also sparked a wave of criticism by the crypto community, with many questioning how a platform handling billions in liquidity could fail to secure its social media accounts. With the breach still unresolved and the X account remaining compromised, concerns about the overall security of crypto platforms have only deepened, and it is the community which continues to suffer.
