It appears that the official account of heavy metal band Metallica has been hacked, with exploiters using the hack to promote the Solana token bearing the METAL symbol.
The token was first announced on the official Metallica website.
Ticketmaster had not made any public announcements or announcements regarding the legality of the partnership at the time of publication.
A pinned post promoting the token refers to the group’s official website, which contains no information about the token.
Posts from Metallica’s account claimed that the token was also launched in collaboration with financial technology company MoonPay. He has not mentioned the token publicly and did not immediately respond to a request for comment outside of U.S. business hours.
This is a developing story, and more information will be added as it becomes available.
