Wiz Khalifa’s X Account Hacked, Promoting Fraudulent $WIZ Memecoi

The post Wiz Khalifa’s X Account Hacked, Promoting Fraudulent $WIZ Memecoi appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Wiz Khalifa’s X account was reportedly hacked on November 3, with posts promoting a fraudulent memecoin called “$WIZ” to his 35.7 million followers. Initially reaching a $3.4 million valuation, the token’s value plummeted to below $28,000 within an hour as early holders sold off. Independent blockchain analyst ZachXBT linked the hack to a similar October attack on developer Andy Ayrey’s account. The hacker’s identity and method remain unclear, and it’s uncertain if Khalifa has regained control of his account.
