NBA Reportedly Hit by Another Fake Meme Coin Post, This Time on Instagram

BeInCrypto 1 min read

The NBA’s official Instagram account was reportedly hacked on October 14 and used to urge followers to buy a meme coin called NBA Coin (NBA).

The league has not confirmed the hack yet, and the post has since been deleted. It adds to a run of reported 2026 takeovers that turned brand and executive accounts into meme coin promotions.
