Solana co-founder Raj Gokal’s personal information was leaked on a series of Instagram posts uploaded on U.S. hip-hop group Migos’ Instagram page in an apparent hack.
On May 27, an Instagram account belonging to American rap trio, Migos, was reportedly compromised by hackers who gained access to Gokal’s personal information and used it to dox him and his wife. The now-deleted Instagram posts featured pictures of the Solana $SOL
SOL-1.24%Solana Labs President holding his driver’s license and passport, both unredacted.
Another post featured a woman, claimed by the hackers to be Gokal’s wife, holding her driver’s license.
The seven pictures were shared to the 13 million followers on Migos’ Instagram account. One of the posts shared Gokal’s personal contact information, including his phone number. The poster then urged people to “spam” the Solana co-founder, effectively doxxing him.
A caption written on the post that showed Gokal holding his driver’s license seemingly implied that he was initially blackmailed before his personal information was leaked on social media. Tagging Gokal’s Instagram account, the hacker wrote: “you should’ve paid the 40 BTC.” At current prices, 40 Bitcoin
