A string of industry influencers and celebrities had their X accounts hacked over the weekend, shilling everything from Luna2 and ORDI to celebrity-inspired memecoins.
Among the latest victims is Gigantic-Cassocked-Rebirth — known as GCR — a pseudonymous cryptocurrency investor known for profiting from contrarian trades — who confirmed their X account was hacked.
GCR’s X account on May 26 posted about ORDI and Luna2.0, sending both tokens up 6% and 274% momentarily.
Many commented that the hacker could have used the account to shill a microcap coin but chose to post the two tokens instead, which resulted in limited gains.
“GCR hacker fumbled the bag hard,” said crypto analyst Miles Deutscher.
“Bro could've picked ANY believable micro cap to pump 10-20x, yet chose to shill ORDI and LUNA2 for a measly 10% wick.”
ORDI (ORDI) has already amassed a market cap of $856 million and, therefore has less upside than small-cap coins.
However, the GCR hack could be just one small part of a wider attack on celebrity X accounts, the community warns.
“GCR already told us today that there’s an operation going on hacking big twitter accounts,” revealed Udi Wertheimer, a Bitcoin developer and Ordinals commentator.
