Actor Dean Norris was recently hacked on his X (formerly Twitter) account, where scammers promoted a fraudulent meme coin named after him. Norris clarified that the "DEAN" coin is a scam and denounced the project. His account had posted announcements and manipulated images to promote the coin.
Despite this, some in the industry believe that meme coins may evolve into a more mature market in the future.
On January 26, Norris posted a video on X clarifying the rumors of his association with the DEAN meme coin. "Hey, this is Dean Norris, actually, and that whole crazy crypto shit was a complete fake scam. I was hacked, and I just got it back," Norris said. The actor urged people to ignore the meme coin, clarifying that he had been hacked and that the situation was all a scam.
Norris joins a long list of people who have fallen victim to crypto scams. Hackers recently targeted Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro’s account to promote the BRAZIL meme coin. Furthermore, after the launch of the TRUMP meme coin, scammers exploited $857.5 million in a single week.
