This incident is the latest in a series of hacks targeting social accounts of celebrities, typically those with tens of millions of followers, and promoting Solana-based meme coins.

American rapper and singer Doja Cat became the latest celebrity to be subjected to a Twitter hack on Monday night, with the attackers using her account to advertise a Solana-based meme coin. Doja Cat quickly alerted her 24 million Instagram followers that she was not behind the posts.

Doja Cat's account began tweeting about cryptocurrency at 7:15 pm ET on Monday. The first post included a link to a holding address and told users to "buy $DOJA or else."

The hacker posted more than two dozen times in total and also deleted Doja Cat's profile picture and description from her account, which has around 5.6 million followers.

Twitter users quickly flagged the tweets as coming from a hacked account.

The hacker also posted about other celebrities, including Iggy Azalea, who is known for her support of crypto and has frequently tweeted about her $MOTHER meme coin and Crypto Twitter.

In response to Doja Cat's hack, Azalea tweeted: "Get rugged if yall want, but I’m cool with that girl in real life so yall fucked up with that tweet, hackers."

According to blockchain records and market data, the new $DOJA token, which is available on Solana market maker Raydium, saw relatively low activity compared to previous incidents. There were less than 15,000 transactions, which generated around $2.2 million in volume.

The incident is the latest in a string of hacks that have seen the social accounts of celebrities, typically those with tens of millions of followers, being used to promote Solana-based meme coins.

Last month, former wrestling star Hulk Hogan's Twitter account was hacked to promote a similar scam. This was followed by rapper 50 Cent's account being compromised, and a week later Metallica's account was also hacked.
