The British Army’s Twitter and Youtube accounts were hacked this weekend, apparently as part of a scheme to promote certain collections of NFTs (thanks, BBC (opens in new tab)). The Twitter feed as it was can be seen here (opens in new tab): the hackers essentially replaced all the images around the account, and began retweeting NFT-related schemes to the British Army’s approximately 365,000 followers. They also renamed the account ‘pssssd’ and later ‘Bapesclan’.
The Army’s Youtube account, on the other hand, hosted a bunch of fake crypto videos where the footage of Elon Musk is linked to a specific cryptopitch, to give the false impression that the billionaire Tesla founder (and crypto enthusiast) is linked to a given scheme .
