Kylie Jenner's Account Briefly Promotes Solana Memecoin in Apparent Hack

Kylie Jenner's X account briefly promoted a Solana memecoin on August 24 before the message was deleted, sparking speculation about an unauthorized access.

The post directed users to a token contract address and a page on Pump.fun, a platform for launching tokens on the Solana blockchain.

CryptoBriefing and Coinfomania reported the incident, describing the account as compromised. The token's market capitalization briefly reached $1.21 million before falling below $120,000 after the promotional post was removed.

The sequence of events fits a pattern where attackers gain control of high-profile social accounts to promote newly launched tokens and create a price spike.
