Hackers takes over WLFI co-founder Zach Witkoff’s social media to push a fake BARRON meme coin
Hackers recently took control of Zach Witkoff’s social media account to promote a fake meme coin called BARRON. The post was quickly deleted by moderators, but the price of the token remained stable. This incident highlights the ongoing risks of scams in the cryptocurrency market.
Political meme coin scams are on the rise. Scammers exploit inexperienced investors and use the names of well-known figures to promote their projects. Witkoff’s account was hacked to advertise the fraudulent BARRON coin linked to Barron Trump. Despite the scam being exposed, the token’s price did not drop.
The trend of political meme coins has led to more scams in the crypto world. After Donald Trump introduced his TRUMP token, scammers reportedly stole $857 million in just the first week of his presidency. The same pattern occurred with Witkoff’s account hack, promoting the fake BARRON coin.
Witkoff later thanked X and James Musk for their quick action in removing the post. However, the BARRON meme coin had no real connection to Barron Trump. Similarly, Trump’s daughter distanced herself from an IVANKA meme coin, which still made a profit despite being a scam. Even after Witkoff’s warning, the BARRON token’s price remained steady, indicating that fraudulent meme coins continue to attract traders.
Political scams are becoming more aggressive. High-profile figures like Vitalik Buterin feel helpless against these schemes. The crypto community is witnessing a surge in fake meme coins linked to politicians, driven by speculation and new investors willing to take risks.
The price of BARRON remains strong despite being a scam. The trend of fraudulent meme coins shows no signs of slowing down. In January, scammers linked an XRP wallet to the US Treasury, and two former world leaders’ accounts were hacked to promote fake tokens, generating over $1 million.
As meme coin speculation resembles gambling, the crypto space must brace for more scams. A survey revealed that 40% of TRUMP investors were new to crypto, making them easy targets for scammers.
