In a shocking cyberattack, Solana co-founder Raj Gokal was doxxed on the hacked Instagram account of rap group Migos, with hackers demanding a 40 BTC ransom.
Unblurred ID documents, personal phone number, and Telegram links were publicly posted — alongside calls for spam attacks. The breach remained live for over an hour before being taken down.
Gokal had earlier reported suspicious activity targeting his accounts, suggesting this was a deliberate and targeted operation — not a random hack.
This incident marks a dangerous shift in Web3:
Security isn’t just about wallets anymore — it’s about your identity, your data, your digital footprint.
As crypto leaders grow more visible, they become high-value targets. The message is clear:
Protect your entire digital life — not just your private keys.
