The breach raised concerns within the crypto community, underscoring the ongoing cybersecurity risks faced by blockchain projects.
JupiterDAO has assured its users that additional security measures will be implemented to ensure the integrity of its communication channels and overall system infrastructure.
Missing Employee Adds Mystery to the Breach
The situation took a troubling turn when JupiterDAO co-founder, known as “meow,” revealed that an employee named @9yointern went missing around the time of the hack.
According to reports, the employee was returning to Singapore from Mountain Dao due to a family emergency when the attack occurred.
The unauthorized access originated from an Android device in the United States, adding further complexity to the investigation.

Additionally, Ron Branstetter, creator of Unicorn Fart Dust ($UFD), suffered a $6.6 million hack, while Nasdaq’s X account was hijacked to promote a fraudulent memecoin, STONKS.
Even Barron Trump’s X account was reportedly hacked to promote a questionable memecoin before being taken down.
