Donald Trump Jr. Twitter account hacked, sends false tweets
The article reports a recent incident involving Donald Trump Jr.’s social media account. A hacker briefly took control of his account and posted false information about the death of his father, former President Donald Trump. The hacker’s posts also included offensive language directed at President Joe Biden and other controversial statements. These posts were quickly deleted from the account, which has a substantial following of 10 million users. The Trump Organization confirmed that the account had been hacked.
Donald Trump Sr. posted an unrelated message on his Truth Social account during this incident, and a spokesman for Donald Trump Jr. clarified on another platform that the posts were false and that the account had been compromised. Despite the hack, Donald Trump Jr. has continued to use the social media platform, which was established by former President Trump after his suspension from another platform in 2021.
The incident highlights the ongoing challenges of cybersecurity and the potential for misinformation and offensive content to spread rapidly on social media. It also mentions the ownership change of the platform from Elon Musk, who renamed it “X” after acquiring it in 2022. This incident underscores the importance of online security and the potential consequences of hacking on a high-profile individual’s social media presence.
