McDonald’s Instagram account got hacked, and it’s quite a story. On Wednesday, the hackers pulled off a scam involving a cryptocurrency named after Grimace, the beloved purple character from the chain.
Some users on X shared screenshots that showed a post from McDonald’s. It was promoting a “McDonald’s experiment” on the Solana blockchain. Sounds strange, right?
One of the posts asked people to share if they owned this Grimace-themed coin. But then, things took a turn. An image popped up, revealing that participants had been scammed out of a whopping $700,000.
This incident highlights the importance of being cautious online. Always double-check before getting involved in anything that seems too good to be true!
