La cuenta de Andy Ayrey, creador de Truth Terminal, inició una serie de mensajes, todos apuntando a un nuevo lanzamiento de token. El nuevo activo casi de inmediato se convirtió en un engaño, estafando a los compradores iniciales.
La cuenta X de Andy Ayrey se considera comprometida, después de publicar brevemente y luego borrar una dirección de trac simbólica. Las cuentas X relacionadas de Ayrey publicaron actualizaciones sobre la protección de todos los activos digitales, incluidas las billeteras de Truth Terminal, que ya contienen tokens valiosos.
El ataque también significó que todas las propiedades de Ayrey y Truth Terminal se trasladaron a direcciones desconocidas, que aún no han sido reveladas. No tener esas billeteras públicas significa que es posible que otros proyectos no puedan usarlas como herramientas de promoción, enviando sus tokens como un lanzamiento aéreo.
Ayrey desaconsejó intercambiar cualquiera de los tokens propuestos a través de su cuenta comprometida y advirtió contra hacer clic en enlaces, que pueden agotar su billetera. Truth Terminal también actualizará la situación a medida que Ayrey asuma el control, manteniendo al mismo tiempo sus conocimientos generados por IA por separado. Las cuentas de Ayrey, que comenzaron como una actuación, rápidamente ganaron tamaño e influencia hasta convertirse en una de las fuentes clave de tendencias en el espacio de los memes.
actualización de seguridad:
–@andyayrey comprometido
– @constellatelabs y @truth_terminal asegurados con llave de hardware y sin teléfono 2fa

The IB ticker distributed through the compromised account has reached 3,104 wallets before announcing the scam. The token is still actively transferred to Raydium, Jupiter DEX aggregator, and Meteora for liquidation and residual trading.
Posting on X and token launch only took about an hour. The IB token started trading against SOL, but only took a few minutes before ending up in a rug pull. The Andy Ayrey account is still considered risky. Bots in the replies keep posting rogue tickers in the hope of additional rug pulls.
Ayrey grew in popularity in the past few days, along with his creation, the Truth Terminal X bot. Even a tangential mention of assets led to irrational rallies. Some of the launches were only related to ‘lore’ seen either through Truth Terminal, or in the Infinite Backrooms, a premium AI product by Ayrey.
The bot’s creator has not promoted any crypto assets, and Token Terminal still has no official token, except for GOAT. Despite the latest hack, GOAT proved anti-fragile, bouncing from lows of $0.57 back above $0.65. GOAT was also among the tokens that existed for a long time before breaking out. The asset faced pressure from day traders, but has never gone through a team rug pull.
Previously, a similar attack happened against the SPX6900 account, which posted a rogue token contract briefly. Hacked celebrity accounts are not unusual in crypto meme space, but they require additional caution.
The hack against Ayrey’s account follows the crash of Numogram (GNON), another AI-themed token where the lead developer sold and abandoned the project. While compromised accounts are common, there have been accusations that some of the hacks may be a deliberate gimmick to perform a rug pull.
The rogue IB token started trading hours before the mention on Ayrey’s X account. The pair was launched and drew in 676.49 SOL more than four hours before the mentions on X.
The last trading activity for the token was a series of sales from a single whale holder. The wallet has no other tokens and was specifically created to launch, trade, and then sell IB.
The trader transformed the fake IB token into SOL and WSOL, later sending it out for further swaps through decentralized protocols. Since the latest selling, the rogue IB token has not seen any activity, and its contract information was also removed from the account.
The Infinite Backrooms brand is still intact. The project relies on interactions between two instances of Claude-3 Opus, which generate surprising twists and ideas. Some of those ideas are then used to generate meme tokens. However, the project is not officially tokenized, and does not support a specific asset.
Previously, the Backrooms brand has also been used to launch new tokens on Pump.fun, but this is the first time a ticker is distributed through a high-profile X account.
