Pop Star Doja Cat's X Account Compromised to Promote Fake Crypto Giveaway

Doja Cat's X-rated account was hacked on Wednesday, and the hackers used it to promote a cryptocurrency scam, according to the Block. The account, which has over 20 million followers, was used to post a tweet promoting a fake crypto giveaway. The tweet claimed that Doja Cat was giving away 100 bitcoins to her followers, and it included a link to a website where people could enter their cryptocurrency wallet addresses. The website was a phishing scam designed to steal people's cryptocurrency. Once someone entered their wallet address, the hackers would be able to access their funds. Doja Cat's team quickly deleted the tweet and regained control of the account. They also issued a statement warning their followers about the scam. "We are aware that a hacker gained access to Doja Cat's X account and posted a fake crypto giveaway," the statement said. "We have deleted the tweet and regained control of the account. Please do not click on any links or enter your cryptocurrency wallet addresses into any websites that you do not trust." The incident is a reminder to be careful about what you click on online. Hackers are constantly finding new ways to trick people into giving up their personal information or money. If you are ever unsure about whether or not a website is legitimate, it is best to err on the side of caution and avoid clicking on it.
