"Cyberattack hits top management! US DOGE X executives caught in the eye of the storm for promoting stablecoins!"
The X account of Vivek Ramaswamy, co-director of the US Government Efficiency Department (DOGE), was hacked recently, falsely spreading news about the strategic cooperation between DOGE and stablecoin USUAL, causing the price of USUAL to surge briefly.
The hacker used Ramaswamy's official account to release a message saying that DOGE will cooperate with the real world asset (RWA) stablecoin USUAL to support the Trump administration's goal of reducing the federal deficit through a crypto plan. This false announcement sparked heated discussions in the market, and the price of USUAL once soared 31.08%, and the market value rose 38.73% to US$720.2 million. Although the news was quickly refuted, the market impact has already been formed.
The Ramaswamy team confirmed that the account was hacked and locked, and the false posts were deleted. Analysis pointed out that as the co-director of the DOGE project and the focus of public attention, it is not accidental that Ramaswamy's account became a target. The incident highlights the risk of celebrity accounts being used for crypto scams on social media.
In the past month, crypto-related social media scams have become common. From Anthropic's false promotion of CLAUDE tokens to accounts of well-known figures such as Drake and Cardi B being used as fraud tools, these incidents use celebrity influence and public trust to manipulate prices.
