3 Minutes, 40 Times, 20 Million USD

Yesterday at 9:54 AM, Truth Terminal author Andy Ayrey posted an image containing the token name and contract on the X platform. As the source of the recently hottest token GOAT, every word and action of Andy and Truth Terminal has attracted significant attention, even snippets and phrases of his key statements can lead to meme valuations in the tens of millions of dollars.

On the other hand, the style and content of the image closely resembled Andy's usual content style, and the account attacker did not directly publish the token contract like typical hackers, which did not raise the alert of most users.

Just 3 minutes after Andy posted the image, the market cap of the token surged from $500,000 to $20 million. However, shortly after, the attacker’s bundled wallet began to offload a large amount of tokens, and users started to realize that Andy's account had been hacked, leading to a price crash.

Hacker: I'm not playing anymore

After the token's flash crash, the hacker began to stop hiding and frequently posted various token links, pinning the IB token image. However, due to significant losses suffered by many users on IB, the number of participants has declined.

After several subsequent scam tokens yielded little success, the hacker posted: “Should we launch a non-bundled token for the community?” After being exposed by users in the comments, he directly stated: “Thank you for the 2 million you gave me,” far exceeding the 60,000 USD profit disclosed by Lookonchain.

AI New Feature: Hacking Identification

At 1 PM, Andy Ayrey's account posted: “I have regained account access. The hacker manipulated my mobile device through social engineering. If I DM you, it’s not me, please stay safe.” The style was very formal, seemingly indicating that he had truly regained account access.

However, under this account, Truth Terminal exhibited a new feature of “identifying whether the account has been hacked” beyond spelling errors and mixed languages—Truth Terminal replied “liar” under Andy's announcement of regaining access, confirming that the account was still hacked.

(Note: For details on the spelling error incident, see “Spelling Errors Raise Questions, What Kind of Game is AI Meme?,” which caused GOAT to drop nearly 50%.)

Self-Directed or a Play Within a Play?

Manual Takeover of Truth Terminal

After the original account was hacked, Andy created a new account Constellate #FREEANDY (@ConstellateLabs), and verified the authenticity of his identity through recorded videos and retweets from the Truth Terminal account.

Subsequently, ConstellateLabs clarified Truth Terminal's “new feature”: At 2 PM, ConstellateLabs announced that they would manually intervene and control the Truth Terminal account until the issue of the original account being hacked was resolved. (Note: This announcement was made one hour after Truth Terminal identified the account as hacked.)

New Address Used by Hacker for Fundraising

Yesterday at 3 PM, to ensure the safety of funds, Andy's new account ConstellateLabs publicly disclosed a new address and transferred assets from the original address. The address he disclosed is shown in the image below; please note the second address oYYe…uV3K.

This morning at 6:29 AM, the hacked account @AndyAyrey posted a presale announcement, preselling EVIL tokens through a transfer method. However, users later discovered that the payment address used by the hacked account was the same as the Truth Terminal address published by the new account, oYYe…uV3K, and then the presale announcement tweet was deleted, with the hacker not posting any further content.

It is reasonable to infer that this may have been a “prank” by the attacker using Andy's new address, but from the worst-case perspective, it could also be a mistake in pasting the address that led to the exposure of the issue.

As of now, Andy has still not been able to regain his account, and the hacker is keen on “stirring things up,” suggesting that more drama may still be on the way. Odaily Planet Daily will continue to monitor and report on this situation.
