  • •The attacker minted 10 trillion SCATMAN tokens and executed rapid sell-offs for ETH.
  • •This incident exemplifies a common rug-pull method in the cryptocurrency space.

A hacker exploited SpaceXAI and Starlink accounts to promote a fraudulent token, SCATMAN, resulting in a theft of approximately $125,000. The attacker minted 10 trillion SCATMAN tokens and sold them for 59 ETH, valued at around $108,000, and another 59.28 million tokens for 14.7 ETH, totaling $27,000. The rapid sell-off occurred after the hacker gained control of the accounts, which were used to create urgency around the token. Screenshots of the compromised accounts circulated on social media, but the breach has not been independently verified. This incident reflects a common rug-pull tactic where attackers leverage trusted brands to mislead investors. Similar attacks have previously targeted crypto companies and public figures. The investigation is ongoing, with no confirmation from SpaceX regarding the account compromise.
