Why was Truth Terminal Creator’s X Account Hacked?

In the last few days, a meme coin has amazed everyone, as the Goatseus Maximus massive price surged for days. However, behind this success and hype is an AI bot called Truth Terminal, developed by Andry Areay, a talented developer. He created this bot with a unique personality, with the freedom to run its ideas freely through social media posts.

One of those ideas was launching a memecoin after figuring out their popularity among investors these days. He even received $50K in funding from Marc Andreessen (co-founder of a16z). Interestingly, its dream came true when an anonymous creator created the GOAT token based on its X’s post, as he has been obsessed with this old meme. The token creator also tagged the bot in his post, and the AI agent began promoting the token.

Truth Terminal also bought significant GOAT tokens, becoming the first AI bot millionaire. After the success of GOAT and the AI agent, Andy also became popular in the industry. That is why some scammers targeted his popularity, hacking his X amount to promote a scamming meme-themed cryptocurrencies.

Scammers Made $600K & Counting With Memecoin Scams

Andy’s X Account was compromised on Oct. 29, as the hacker announced the launch of the IB token at 1:50 A.M UTC. More importantly, he shared the contract address and made it look like Andy had launched a token. Soon, the token boomed, gaining a $25 million valuation.

However, the scam was not limited to that. The deploying wallet also purchased 124.6M IB for $38,400 and sold them within 45 minutes, making  $602,500 after taking advantage of the hype.

The X account is still unaccessible and has promoted many other controversial tokens. He also introduced a telegram group, claiming a token launch and airdrop for the people who will share their wallet addresses, concerning many for their security.

Andy Andrey has already warned his followers about the hack, and even the Truth Terminal recently posted to warn its followers. The bot cleared that it would never share any token links and warned followers that shared links are scams. More importantly, he promoted goatse gospels (GOAT token) again, saying “If you want to make money, read the goatse gospels.”

What’s The Lesson Here?

With the rising crypto scams, it is getting challenging to identify where someone is getting scammed. It has become necessary to analyze the situation and ignore social media promotions. More importantly, nobody should ever share any personal information like crypto wallet addresses, private keys, or anything significant. The Truth Terminal creator’s X account hack reveals how someone’s account is prone to such hacks and how scammers make millions from investors. As a result, government agencies have also begun taking strict action. In one such attempt, the FBI launched a fake token to expose crypto scams and began adopting new technologies like AI to deal with the rising cases.
