What happened
According to DL News, Dean Norris, the actor who played Hank Schrader in Breaking Bad, became the target of a hack on the X platform for the second time in six months. The attack started with a tweet from Norris' account announcing his decision to launch his own cryptocurrency called Dean, along with the contract address. The attackers even shared a manipulated photo of Norris holding a notebook with the token's symbol and date hastily written on it. Within hours, the meme coin's market value surged to $7 million, but after Norris confirmed the scam, its value plummeted by 90%.
