According to Odaily, the official X account of heavy metal band Metallica is suspected to have been hacked and is promoting a Solana-based token named METAL. The related post indicates that this token was launched in collaboration with Ticketmaster and MoonPay. However, as of the time of writing, neither party has made a public statement regarding the legality of this partnership.

Furthermore, the post promoting METAL directs to Metallica's official website, but the website does not contain any information about this token. It is unclear at this time whether the promotion of the METAL token is a result of the suspected hacking or if it is an official initiative by the band. Further updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
