Senator Lummis's Twitter Account Hacked in Crypto Scam
Senator Cynthia Lummis's Twitter account was hacked on Wednesday, with attackers pushing a fake Solana meme coin called $USA Token. The Wyoming Republican is a strong advocate for the Digital Asset Market Clarity Act, which would divide crypto oversight between two federal regulators.
The post claimed the token was created by Lummis's team and tagged Solana, carrying an American flag image and a link to pump.fun. Within five minutes, several near-identical versions appeared in quick succession, each pointing to a different token page.
Crypto users flagged the account within minutes, warning followers not to buy. However, Lummis's office had issued no statement confirming the breach at the time of publication. No proceeds have been tied to the tokens so far.
