Co-founder of Solana SOL faces extortion attempt.
The rise in Bitcoin's price, which recently pushed the cryptocurrency to exceed $111,800, has led to an increase in extortion attempts. While the physical safety of Raj Gokal and his family has not been threatened personally, this is not the case for other figures in the crypto world, whose family members have faced kidnapping attempts.
Hackers managed to breach the Instagram account of the Migos music group and used it to post photos of Raj Gokal.
The photos also included Raj Gokal's wife, holding her passport as well. It also included the personal phone number of the co-founder of Solana, with "annoying" calls to him published last night. Photos showing one of Solana's founders holding his passport in his hand were accompanied by a message.
Personal information of Raj Gokal, co-founder of Solana (SOL), was published on Instagram. What happened?
One of the founders of Solana commented on the attack on his account on X, explaining that the attackers were trying to take control of his email addresses and social media accounts, as well as Google and Apple, and demanded 40 BTC.
Raj Gokal urges the Solana community to be extremely cautious about any announcements coming from his networks.
