When Your ID Gets More Likes Than You: The Raj Gokal Saga! 😱💔

So, picture this: Raj Gokal, the big cheese at Solana Labs, just casually living his best life when—BAM!—his personal info gets leaked on Migos’ Instagram. Because, you know, nothing says “privacy” like a hip-hop group with 13 million followers. 🎤

Late Monday, the Migos account decided to play Santa and gift the world seven images of Gokal’s sensitive documents. Yes, you heard that right! His driver’s license and passport were on full display, like they were the latest fashion trend. Who needs a runway when you have Instagram? 📸

“Thanks for actually blurring the personal info unlike every other account on CT. Think Raj’s personal accounts got social engineered and they tried to extort him for funds with the PII obtained. Guess he didn’t pay so they started trolling and posted it after they compromised…”

Oh, and let’s not forget the pièce de résistance: a photo of Gokal’s wife holding her driver’s license. Because why not drag the whole family into this mess? And as if that wasn’t enough, they dropped his phone number like it was hot, encouraging everyone to give him a ring. I mean, who doesn’t love unsolicited calls at 3 AM? 📞😅

In a dramatic twist, one post warned, “You should have given the 40 BTC,” implying that if Raj had just coughed up the cash, this whole circus could have been avoided. Spoiler alert: it wasn’t. And to top it all off, they created a Telegram group chat for their new fan club. How sweet! 💌

The posts were up for over an hour before Instagram finally decided to play the hero and take them down at 12:12 a.m. on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Gokal was busy tweeting about his email and social media accounts being hacked. You know, just a regular Tuesday for a crypto leader. 🦸‍♂️

After a string of celebrity account hacks, these attackers clearly have a knack for promoting fake cryptocurrency scams. We reached out to Solana Labs for a comment, but they must be too busy figuring out how to secure their accounts to respond. 🤷‍♀️

This whole debacle just goes to show that crypto leaders are like piñatas at a birthday party—everyone wants a swing at them. Time to up the security game, folks!
