The official Instagram account of the famous hip-hop group Migos was apparently hacked on Monday, with the page briefly turning into a leaked site for sensitive personal information belonging to Solana co-founder Raj Gokal. According to Andy, co-founder of The Rollup, the compromised account, which has over 13 million followers, posted a series of photos of alleged IDs, passport scans, and other private data linked to Gokal and another individual identified as “Arvind.”
The leaked documents were paired with threatening captions and explicit references to an unpaid crypto ransom, including one post stating, “you should’ve paid the 40 btc,” indicating a failed extortion effort. The hackers also modified the account’s bio to promote a meme coin scam and shared Telegram links and audio files. One post taunted the victims by referencing their Solana token holdings. Andy said that the compromised content was visible for about 90 minutes before removal.
Commenting on Andy’s report, blockchain investigator ZachXBT noted that the extortion attempt appeared to follow a week of coordinated social engineering efforts targeting Raj Gokal. Gokal has not released an official statement. However, his earlier X posts indicated awareness of attempts to breach his personal and professional systems prior to the incident. Migos’ Instagram account has since returned to normal operation.
