Submission + - SpaceXAI and Starlink X Accounts Hacked, Abused to Promote scams (spamreports.report)

D,Petkow writes: Another day, another twitter/X scam, but this time involving the official gold-verified accounts of both SPACEX and STARLINK, and another gold-verified account, which is now suspended.

An account called "Sam Catman" somehow obtained an official SpaceXAI-affiliated *gold* badge and posted promotion for a new meme coin on Robinhood Chain.
Shortly afterward, the verified @SpaceXAI and Starlink accounts reposted it, giving the scam instant credibility to millions of followers.
The token pumped hard before the expected rug pull. The original posts have since been deleted.
As of now, there has been zero official acknowledgment or statement from SpaceXAI, Starlink, or Elon Musk about how a high-profile corporate account cluster was compromised so easily — or how the "official affiliate" badge system was abused.

Full story

As a result more than 120 000 USD have been stolen and laundered (so far), how convenient.
Classic reminder that even the biggest names in tech can get owned by a cartoon cat shilling a concurrency "memecoin". The gold badge was apparently worth its weight in rug residue.

The lack of transparency also says plenty, as if never of this ever happened.
