– Hogan’s Twitter account was hacked for nearly four days, during which hackers promoted fraudulent XRP giveaway scams.
– The XRP community alerted Twitter support and warned others about the malicious links being tweeted from Hogan’s account.
– As of July 28, all giveaway-related tweets have been deleted, indicating that Hogan may have regained access to his account or that Twitter support intervened.
– The hackers managed to gain 784 XRP (worth approximately $561) in three hours from 12 users.
– The hackers also posted links to a fraudulent website called “Ripplex.win,” which has since been suspended.
– Hogan apologized for the inconvenience caused by the hack and expressed hope that no one lost money.
– The “XRP Army” and notable figures in the crypto community warned potential victims not to engage with Hogan’s account.
– This is not the first time a notable figure in the crypto community has fallen victim to such an attack, as John Deaton’s account was also hacked previously.
– Disseminating false and deceptive financial information in the crypto sector poses a significant risk to investors and markets.
