The official X account for heavy metal band Metallica appears to have been hacked, with the exploiters using the breach to promote a Solana token with the ticker METAL.Ticketmaster has not made any public announcement about the partnership and did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Posts from Metallica’s account claimed fintech firm MoonPay was involved with the token, which MoonPay president Keith Grossman dismissed in an X post, saying, “MoonPay does NOT support METAL.
A pinned post on Metallica's account promoting the token points to the band’s official website, which has no information about the token.
