Kylian Mbappé's Twitter account has been hacked. Lionel Messi attacked Israel.

Kylian Mbappe, a star player for Real Madrid, faced a major security breach oReal Madrid star Wednesday night when his Twitter/X account was hacked. The incident occurred in the early hours of the morning, and the account was under the hacker's control for about 20 minutes. During this period, the hacker used the account for various disruptive activities.

One of the primary actions taken by the hacker was to promote a cryptocurrency named $MBAPPE. The promotion led to a dramatic surge in the cryptocurrency’s value, which spiked to tens of millions of dollars temporarily. This surge allowed one individual to make a significant profit, turning an investment of $286 (€258) into a value of approximately $200,000 (€180,500). However, the cryptocurrency’s value quickly plummeted back to zero within an hour after the promotion ceased.

In addition to the cryptocurrency scam, the hacker used Mbappe’s account to post inflammatory and controversial content. The posts included derogatory remarks about Lionel Messi, and provocative statements like "Manchester is red" and a false claim about Mbappe moving to Manchester United in 2028. More troubling were the posts that contained anti-Semitic rhetoric and political statements, including offensive remarks about Israel and Palestine. These posts not only targeted specific individuals and groups but also hinted at the hacker’s personal views on both football and political issues.

The posts were removed after approximately 20 minutes, but the damage had already been done. The breach not only disrupted Mbappe’s online presence but also raised concerns about the security of high-profile social media accounts. The incident highlights the vulnerabilities that even well-managed accounts can face and the potential for significant repercussions when such accounts are compromised.

The full extent of the impact on Mbappe’s image and brand remains to be seen. Given his prominence in the world of football and the detailed management of his public persona, this hacking incident underscores the importance of robust security measures for public figures. The rapid rise and fall of the $MBAPPE cryptocurrency also serve as a reminder of the risks associated with digital investments and the ease with which such schemes can be manipulated for personal gain.
