The X account of Ava Labs’ operating chief, Luigi D’Onorio DeMeo, has been touting memecoins and other suspicious links, prompting many to warn it's likely a phishing scam.
Ava Labs’ chief operating officer, Luigi D’Onorio DeMeo’s X account, is suspected of being hacked after posting about a newly launched Pokémon-themed memecoin and links to suspicious airdrops.
Two of the posts on Aug. 19, which have now been deleted, shared the address to a Solana-based memecoin called Pika (PIKA) — styled after one of the media franchise’s central characters, Pikachu — in an apparent pump-and-dump scheme.
Many crypto users on X have posted warnings not to click or follow any links.
