Hackers got into Lara and Tiffany Trump’s social media accounts and are using them to spread fake coin schemes. On September 4, people attacked by sharing links to fake cryptocurrency projects on X, which used to be called Twitter.
Someone got into the accounts of both Lara Trump, who is married to the former president, and Tiffany Trump, who is his daughter. As soon as they heard about the scam, the official Telegram group for Trump’s new decentralized finance project, World Liberty Financial, took action. The project team sent out a warning telling people not to click on any links or tokens that came from accounts that had been hacked.

In an edited X post, Lara Trump’s husband Eric admitted the breach and made it clear that the posts were fake. He said that X did something right away to protect the accounts.
Even though Eric and Donald Trump had said in the past that they didn’t want to see these kinds of coins released, the fake posts pushed a memecoin linked to Solana. For a short time, the fake token had a lot of trade activity when the fake links were popular, but they quickly lost their appeal.
The World Liberty Financial project is meant to be a new way to borrow and give money in the cryptocurrency world, but not many details are known at this time. The project’s goals are to offer an option to standard banks and make the U.S. a world leader in cryptocurrency.
