Jupiter Exchange Regains X Account Following Hack

Jupiter, a Solana-based decentralized exchange aggregator, had its X account briefly compromised, with the attacker using it to promote scam tokens, leading to market turbulence. The drama kicked off in the early hours of February 6 when an unknown attacker took over Jupiter’s X account, which boasts more than half a million followers. They then started posting about a newly launched meme coin called $MEOW, with the name a play on the platform co-founder’s pseudonym, Meow. On-chain records show that within minutes of the promotion, the fake token’s market value flew past $20 million as it attracted unsuspecting investors.
