Was JiDion hacked on Twitter? Streamer’s account posts new NFT promotion
Streamer and YouTuber Jidon “JiDion” was hacked earlier today, April 14. The hacker(s) gained access to his Twitter account and posted a series of tweets promoting an NFT project. In their latest post, they claimed that the first 100 people who bought NFT would get a chance to collaborate with YouTuber Jimmy “MrBeast”.
JiDion confirmed on Instagram that his Twitter account had been compromised. He encouraged his followers to mass report the account so that it would be restricted.
Was JiDion doxxed? Twitter account shares social security number
The hacker(s) appear to have shared JiDion’s private information on Twitter. They posted a photo of the YouTuber’s driver’s license, which mentions his social security number. The post has since been deleted and its authenticity is questionable.
They also tweeted that those who purchased the NFTs would receive free merchandise and the ability to access bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage of the YouTuber.
Fans should exercise caution and not engage with suspicious links or messages sent from his hacked account. They can lead to malicious or fraudulent activity, such as phishing scams or the installation of malware.
At the time of writing, Jidon’s Twitter account is still hacked and the posts promoting the NFT project are still up. The hacker has also disabled replies to most tweets, presumably to avoid a backlash.
What did the fans say?
Fans were quick to notice suspicious activity on the YouTuber’s Twitter account. Jidon’s quick response to confirm the news of the hack helped curb the number of scams. Given that the account has over 600,000 followers, it is possible that some individuals had already fallen into the trap.
Here are some of the notable reactions to the story:
Some speculate that the incident was a prank or staged for an upcoming video.
But given the suspicious content being posted and the streamer’s request for fans to report the situation, it seems unlikely that it’s a prank.
Mams Taylor, KSI’s manager, also confirmed the hack.
Jidon has recently moved to Rumble, a streaming platform that promotes free speech. He hosted a couple of live streams, including a recent UFC event. He was also alive earlier today, before he was hacked, using an army tank.
