The BNB Chain-based memecoin launch platform Four.Meme has suffered a security breach, with hackers targeting the growing liquidity in meme tokens.

“We are currently experiencing a malicious attack, and our team has intervened immediately to address the issue,” Four.Meme said in a Feb. 11 X post.

The platform assured users that internal funds are safe and “unaffected by the attack.”
