The X accounts of Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump were reportedly hacked Tuesday evening, resulting in fraudulent messages posted to promote a fake cryptocurrency token.<\/p>\n
The compromised accounts were used to falsely endorse a token allegedly linked to World Liberty Financial, a new crypto project recently promoted by members of the Trump family.<\/p>\n
The hackers revealed a specific blockchain address and token, urging followers to invest in what they claimed was the \u201conly official\u201d token for World Liberty Financial.<\/p>\n
Lara Trump\u2019s affected profile tweeted: \u201cOur goal at World Liberty \u2026 is to utilize our governance token on Solana, $WL, to support our DeFi lending protocol.\u201d<\/p>\n
World Liberty Financial confirmed<\/a> the incident, \u201cALERT: Lara\u2019s and Tiffany Trump\u2019s X accounts have been hacked.\u201d<\/p>\n The statement warned the public not to click on any links or purchase tokens shared from the compromised profiles. It assured that they were actively working to resolve the issue while urging people to stay vigilant and avoid scams. The project also emphasized<\/a> this message through its Telegram channel.<\/p>\n However, the posts were live for only a short time before being removed. X quickly locked down both Lara\u2019s and Tiffany\u2019s accounts to prevent further misuse.<\/p>\n \u201cTwitter was amazing and has locked down LaraLeaTrump and TiffanyATrump accounts within minutes,\u201d Eric Trump wrote<\/a> in another tweet.<\/p>\n The Trump family has been actively promoting World Liberty Financial which was recently rebranded from \u201cThe DeFiant Ones\u201d with the former president himself taking to social media to endorse<\/a> the platform.<\/p>\n On August 29, he shared a video with a voiceover declaring his commitment to making the United States the \u201ccrypto capital of the planet,\u201d\u00a0 adding, \u201cThey want to choke you. They want to choke you out of business. We\u2019re not going to let that happen.\u201d<\/p>\n The Trump brothers have also been vocal about it, with Eric telling <\/a>people to \u201cstay tuned for a big announcement.\u201d and declaring <\/a>the start of a \u201cnew era in finance.\u201d<\/p>\n The timing of the hack is notable as it occurred just hours after a CoinDesk report unveiled details of the project plans. The report shows<\/a> that it is a decentralized finance (DeFi) platform focused on borrowing and lending, with plans to issue a token called WLFI.<\/p>\n Although there isn\u2019t an official launch date yet, the white paper reveals that Donald Trump, who is currently running for president for the third time, will serve as the \u201cchief crypto advocate.\u201d His sons, Eric, Donald Jr., and Barron Trump, are also expected to play key roles in the initiative.<\/p>\n The post Donald Trump Relatives\u2019 X Accounts Hacked to Promote Fake Crypto Token<\/a> appeared first on CryptoPotato<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The X accounts of Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump were reportedly hacked Tuesday evening, resulting in fraudulent messages posted to promote a fake cryptocurrency token.
