Pokémon Official Account Hacked for Memecoin Scam: 'OML' Targeted Fans
The official Pokémon account was hacked on August 28, 2026, to promote a memecoin scam. The hackers posted about 'OML' (One Million Love), claiming it would rise in value due to its connection to Pokémon.
However, the Pokémon Company quickly condemned the incident and clarified that OML is not an official product or collaboration. They urged fans not to invest in or trade OML, emphasizing that it's a scam.
The hackers' goal was to create hype around OML by linking it to Pokémon, which has a massive global following.
