Twitter account of Venezuelan opposition leader hacked to promote crypto scam
Last night, hackers took control of the Twitter account of the Venezuelan opposition leader and launched an advertisement for the scam token LIBRE on the Solana blockchain. Under the slogans of "fighting for freedom," the audience was urged to buy the token, but within a few hours a rug pull occurred — the fraudulent withdrawal of investors' funds.

This incident highlights how vulnerable even prominent political figures' accounts can be in the cryptocurrency space. Exploiting popular ideas like freedom to manipulate user trust is a common tactic among scammers in the digital environment.
Going forward, it is crucial to strengthen account security and raise awareness of the risks involved in investing in new crypto tokens to prevent similar scams.
