🚨 WARNING 🚨

Pumpdotfun X account has been compromised!

We have been rocked by yet another security breach—this time targeting the official X account of Pump.fun, a popular Solana-based memecoin launchpad.

Within the last hour people have warned users that the pumpdotfun account had been compromised and was being used to promote a fraudulent token scheme. Alon (pump.fun co-founder)released a statement from his personal account confirming the hack urging users not to interact with the page.

The first signs of trouble emerged shortly after 4:00 PM CET, when the pumpdotfun account reportedly posted a link to a contract address (CA) for a supposed new token. X users quickly flagged this as a scam, urging others not to interact with the link or purchase any associated tokens. Within 30 minutes, posts on X were circulating warnings advising caution and speculating that the breach could be part of a broader phishing or rug-pull attempt.

At 4:56 PM CET, the compromised pumpdotfun account posted again, this time with a bizarre message: “so what we doing now? shall we make a legit token on pump we call it hackeddotfun pump it to 100m?” The tone—mocking and provocative—suggests the hacker might be toying with the community, though it’s unclear if this was an attempt to further the scam or simply a taunt. Without access to the account’s backend or an official response, it’s impossible to say definitively whether this was the intruder or a misguided attempt by the real team to regain control.

This isn’t Pump.fun’s first brush with trouble. In May 2024, the platform suffered a $1.9m exploit orchestrated by a former employee, Jarett Dunn, who used his insider access to manipulate the system via flash loans. This was a blow to Pump.fun’s credibility, though it was tied to smart contract vulnerabilities rather than a social media hack.
