Holders of Trump’s Crypto Token Targeted by Hackers in Phishing Exploit

Hackers just pulled off a brazen phishing exploit targeting holders of Trump-branded cryptocurrency tokens. The attack unfolded with surgical precision—fake airdrop promises, spoofed websites, and enough blockchain sleight-of-hand to drain wallets in seconds.

How the Attack Went Down

Phishers deployed classic social engineering tactics—impersonating official token channels, dangling bogus reward distributions, and exploiting the hype-driven FOMO that plagues crypto communities. Victims clicked malicious links, approved fraudulent transactions, and watched their holdings vanish into anonymous wallets.

Security experts point to the token’s polarizing appeal—and its holder base—as factors making it a juicy target. Because nothing says ‘financial innovation’ like watching your portfolio get rinsed by a .eth address named ‘MAGA4EVER’.

Staying safe means skepticism over hype, hardware over hot wallets, and remembering—in crypto, the only free lunch is the one hackers are serving.
