[Update- resolved]Motorola’s X Handle Falls Victim to Crypto Phishing Scam

Update on 14th September 2024: Motorola seems to have gained access back to its X account and has deleted that post.

For those who remember, a few weeks ago, McDonald’s Instagram account was hacked, leading to a million-dollar crypto phishing scam.

It now seems that Motorola’s official X (formerly Twitter) account has been compromised. A post has appeared from the brand’s official handle promoting a cryptocurrency.

the post reads “Introducing $BERRY on Solana the next 100x gem!

Let’s pump this together!”

So users are advised not to deposit any funds in this crypto.

It has been nearly two hours, and it seems Motorola still hasn’t regained control of its X account. We will update this story as soon as there are any further developments.
