However, not long after, World Liberty Financial confirmed that the accounts had been hacked. They warned the public through an official statement: Account X Lara Trump and Tiffany Trump have been hacked. Please don't click on any links or buy the tokens promoted from the profile. They also said that their team was trying to overcome this situation and asked the public to be aware of this kind of fraud.

Although the scam messages lasted only a while, hackers had provided detailed information regarding blockchain addresses and fake tokens that were touted as official tokens from Trump's project.
