X Accounts of Lara Trump, Tiffany Trump Hacked By Crypto Scammers

The X accounts of Lara Trump, wife of Eric Trump (son of former U.S. President Donald Trump), and Tiffany Trump, daughter of the ex-president, were compromised on Tuesday evening to promote scam tokens.

Several news reports say that both accounts were used to highlight a new token allegedly tied to “World Liberty Financial” — a project the Trump family has recently been discussing.

Both Lara and Tiffany Trump had previously tweeted about “the only official” blockchain addresses for World Liberty Financial, emphasizing the importance of their new governance token, $WL, which is designed to operate on the Solana network.

Soon after, however, things took a turn when Eric Trump quickly alerted followers that both accounts had been hacked, and that the blockchain addresses and token promotions were scams. He praised X for its prompt action.

.@twitter was amazing and has locked down @LaraLeaTrump and @TiffanyATrump accounts within minutes.

World Liberty Financial’s official account also confirmed the breach shortly after, warning the public not to click on any links or purchase tokens associated with the two Trump women’s accounts.

ALERT: Lara’s and Tiffany Trump's X accounts have been hacked. Do NOT click on any links or purchase any tokens shared from their profiles. We're actively working to fix this, but please stay vigilant and avoid scams!

This incident is the third time a token allegedly linked to the Trump family has made headlines, only to be revealed later as fraudulent.

The DJT token, promoted by convicted fraudster Martin Shkreli, had claimed to involve Barron Trump, Donald Trump’s youngest son. The family had never confirmed any connection to the project.

Restore the Republic (RTR) was another token that briefly reached a valuation of $155 million before it plummeted, raising further doubts about the legitimacy of Trump-associated cryptocurrencies.

In late August, the former U.S. president announced his newest digital trading card series that featured 47,000 tokens and sold for $99 each. He also revealed the launch of his official Telegram chat — Official Trump DeFi channel. Trump is known as the first major nominee to support cryptocurrency traders and promote NFTs. The Trump family had been advocating decentralized finance as well, claiming it to be the future.
