Summary
Famous rapper Wiz Khalifa’s socials got jacked by scammers and hyped up some crazy meme coin called WIZ on pump.fun. Crypto sleuth ZachXBT suspects this hacker might be same hacker that snatched Truth Terminal founder’s account too.
On November 4, blockchain detective ZachXBT dropped a screenshot in his Telegram channel, showing a deleted sketchy post from Wiz Khalifa’s X account which was hacked during that time. Wiz Khalifa has about 35.7 million followers, so that scam post got massive reach in a very short time resulting in some people losing money to it. ZachXBT warned followers to not blindly follow such posts quickly as there is high chance of big profiles getting hacked.
The hacker on a now deleted X post, promoted a token called $WIZ which was a pump.fun meme coin and assured users it was safe to buy by saying it was based on Solana. ZachXBT told in his group members to not buy Wiz Khalifa token on pump fun and further claimed this might be the same hacker that hacked Andy Ayrey the other day.
As reported by DEX Screener, the WIZ meme coin boomed by almost 2000%. This led it to hit over $2.5 million in market cap within just 15 minutes after launch. But things didn’t remain this bright for long as early holders quickly dumped loads of the token and the market cap crashed below $28,000 within an hour. This is always what usually happens in such sketchy tokens. As the time of writing, WIZ went down by 90% in the last 24 hour and its market cap is sitting at a tiny $7,900.
Since the meme coin posts got wiped away, Wiz’s account has gone silent. There are no updates on whether his account even got recovered or not. While the hacker’s ID is still missing ZachXBT seems very convinced that its same person that hacked Truth Terminal developer Andy Ayrey’s account recently.
