Roaring Kitty X account hack suspected after 'RKC' memecoin pump

The X account of Roaring Kitty, a key figure in the GameStop (GME) meme stock frenzy, was suspected to have been hacked on May 11, BlockBeats reported. A hacker allegedly posted the contract address for a memecoin called "Red Kitten Crew" (RKC) using the compromised account. The token's market capitalization briefly surged to $12 million before crashing to around $1.8 million. Roaring Kitty's team appears to have since regained control of the account, and the related posts have been deleted. While no official statement has been released, the community believes the memecoin promotion resulted from the account being compromised.
