The attackers published a specific blockchain address and token name, urging followers to invest in the "only official" asset of World Liberty Financial. Lara Trump's profile stated that the goal of the project was to use the WLFI token to support the DeFi lending protocol.

World Liberty Financial warns users not to click on suspicious links or buy tokens distributed through compromised profiles. They assured that they are working to resolve the issue and urged the public to be vigilant to avoid fraud. The company also duplicated this warning on its Telegram channel.
