Something happened again. This time, Pump.fun’s official Instagram account was taken over by hackers.

The news first broke on SolanaFloor, saying the account had been compromised for more than two hours, and the hacker was using it to post meme coins and run promotions. Just looking at the links, they don’t look like anything legitimate. If you click through, chances are you’re going to run into trouble. Pump.fun later also issued a statement on X, admitting that Instagram really had been tampered with by external parties, but emphasizing that the platform itself wasn’t affected—whatever is supposed to happen on-chain will continue as usual.

To put it simply, this is an old, well-worn routine—but it still works. Holding the title of an official account to issue coins makes people feel like, “Official endorsement must be safe,” and when someone’s heart’s hot, they rush in. This kind of thing has been reenacted in the crypto space a hundred times over. Earlier this year, someone even impersonated the Ripple CEO on Instagram to run an airdrop scam—same playbook, exactly the same. The Hong Kong police also have data: chances are, about investment fraud cases start on Meta platforms. WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram are all major trouble spots.

The old-timers in the Solana community put it pretty well: there’s nothing wrong on-chain; it’s Meta’s side where account security is weak. Pump.fun has always been a brand with plenty of attention—last year, someone even took it to court with a class-action lawsuit, alleging that the meme coins on it were cutting users. This time, it’s been targeted by hackers again. It just goes to show: when you’re popular, trouble comes with it.

Anyway, one thing to remember: don’t believe everything posted by official accounts—especially anything that tells you to click links, send money, or claim an airdrop. Keeping a few extra precautions can’t hurt.
