On further glance, it looks like the regular traders haven’t lost a significant sum of money yet. Apparently, the top traders on the scam coin only made a profit of $8k, which likely means that the attackers lost money using this method. Soon after the scam went live, the attackers removed the token’s liquidity and rugged it back to zero.
As a safety precaution, ZachXBT reminded users to always disconnect apps from Twitter that aren’t in use. This can be done from Settings -> Security and account access -> Apps and Sessions.
