Cryptocurrency hackers attacked the X (Formerly called Twitter) account, of a prominent cryptocurrency influencer on X, on the 26th of May 2024. This X account uses GCR, as the acronym. The hacked X account posted a forecast of ORDI price, leading to a short increase in price.

The scammers used the compromised X account to post on Luna 2.0 crypto and ORDI. This led to a surge in the value of both crypto assets, but it was brief. The compromise was announced by GCR, and followers were informed to disregard the posts.

GCR remains convinced that a person collected bribe at the company X.com, in order to release his login details; which led to the security vulnerability. GCR mentioned that there was nothing he could do about the security vulnerability, if the workers of X.com collect bribe to release private data.

After the post was made by the scammer, ORDI price experienced a surge from $40 to $44. But this increase in price was for a short period of time, and it dropped to $40. While Luna 2.0 saw an increase in value of 274% briefly.

Every crypto exchange must always be very careful of hackers because it actually looks like they are everywhere

The compromise was announced by GCR, and followers were informed to disregard the posts.
