Truth Terminal founder X was hacked and staged a series of large-scale dramas. Is it a game within a game or a self-directed drama?

Andy's new address was used for pre-sale of stolen accounts; AI demonstrated a new function of "identifying stolen accounts".

Original title: "A game within a game or a self-directed and self-acted game, Truth Terminal founder X was stolen and staged a series of dramas"
Original author: Nan Zhi, Odaily Planet Daily


3 minutes, 40 times, 20 million US dollars


Yesterday at 9:54, Truth Terminal author Andy Ayrey posted a picture with the token name and contract on the X platform. As the source of the most popular token GOAT in recent times, Andy and Truth Terminal's every word and deed have attracted much attention, and even the fragments and words of their key remarks can contribute to a meme with a market value of tens of millions of dollars.

On the other hand, the style and content of the picture are very similar to Andy's usual content style, and the account attacker did not directly publish the token contract like a regular hacker, so it did not arouse the vigilance of most users.


In just 3 minutes after Andy posted the picture, the market value of the token rose from $500,000 to $20 million. But then the attacker's bundled wallet began to ship a large number of shipments, and users began to realize that Andy's account was stolen, and the price collapsed.

Hack: I won't act anymore


After the token flash crash, the hacker began to no longer cover up, frequently posting various token links and pinning the IB token picture. However, due to the heavy losses suffered by a large number of users on IB, the number of participants has declined.

After several subsequent scam tokens had little effect, the hacker posted a message saying: "Are you going to launch unbundled tokens for the community?" After being exposed again by users in the comment area, he directly said: "Thank you for giving me 2 million", far exceeding the $600,000 in revenue disclosed by Lookonchain.


AI New Function: Account Identification


At 1 pm, Andy Ayrey's account posted a message saying: "The account permissions have been revoked. Hackers manipulated my mobile device through social engineering. If I send you a private message, it is not me. Be careful." The style is very formal, and it seems that the account permissions have been truly revoked.


However, under this account, Truth Terminal showed a new feature besides spelling errors and a mixture of Chinese and English: "Identify whether the account has been stolen" - Truth Terminal replied "liar" under the tweet of Andy's account announcing that the permissions had been revoked, confirming the fact that the account was still being stolen.


(Note: For details on the spelling errors, please see "Spelling errors lead to doubts, what kind of game is AI Meme?", which caused GOAT to fall by nearly 50%.)

Self-directed and self-acted, revealing the truth or a game within a game?


Manual takeover of Truth Terminal


After the original account was stolen, Andy created a new account Constellate #FREEANDY (@ConstellateLabs) and verified the authenticity of his identity by recording a video and forwarding it through the Truth Terminal account.

Later, ConstellateLabs clarified the "new features" of Truth Terminal: At 2 p.m., ConstellateLabs issued an announcement that it would manually intervene and control the Truth Terminal account until the original account theft was resolved. (Note: This announcement was published one hour after the Truth Terminal account was stolen.)

The new address was used by the hacker to raise funds


Yesterday at 3 pm, in order to ensure the safety of funds, Andy's new account ConstellateLabs disclosed the new address and transferred the assets in the original address. The public address is shown in the figure below. Please note the second address oYYe…uV3K.

At 6:29 this morning, Andy's stolen account @AndyAyrey issued a pre-sale announcement, pre-selling EVIL tokens through transfers. But then some users discovered that the payment address used by the stolen account was the same as the Truth Terminal address published by the new account, and then the pre-sale announcement tweet was deleted, and the victim did not publish any content again.


It is reasonable to infer that this may be a "prank" by the attacker using Andy's new address, but from the worst perspective, it may be that the problem was exposed by pasting the wrong address.

Today, Andy has not been able to recover his account, and the hacker is keen on "making things happen", and more good dramas may be on the way. Odaily Planet Daily will continue to pay attention and follow up on the report.
