Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Americans believe Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter account has been hacked by Stephen Miller.
“I also fucked your girl btw, Logan Paul” – Hacker wrote after he hacked Donald Trump Jr X account.
Another tweet that blasted President Joe Biden contained profanity and a racial slur.
The posts appeared to have been taken down later.
“Don’s account has been hacked,” Trump Jr.’s advisor Andrew Surabian wrote in an X post of his own.
The elder Trump is the front-runner in the 2024 Republican presidential nomination contest. Trump Jr., with his brother Eric Trump, runs the family’s company, the Trump Organization.
A spokesman for former President Donald Trump said Wednesday that Donald Trump Jr.’s account on X – the platform formerly known as Twitter – had been compromised after the account began sharing a series of unusual and erratic posts.
“Don’s account has been hacked,” Andrew Surabian posted on X, adding that a post claiming the former president had died was “obviously not true.”
In addition to falsely pronouncing the death of the senior Trump, the compromised account also claimed that Trump Jr. would be running for president himself. Within minutes, the post had been reshared more than 1,000 times on X and viewed hundreds of thousands of times.
Another post appeared to threaten the country of North Korea, while a pinned post on the account’s profile insulted President Joe Biden with the use of a racist epithet.
Roughly a half-hour after the posts surfaced, they had been removed. X did not respond to CNN’s request for comment.
The incident raises fresh questions about X’s role in securing user accounts, particularly those belonging to high-profile political figures as the platform prepares for the 2024 elections. In August, X said it is staffing up on its safety and election teams following mass layoffs last year that according to owner Elon Musk ultimately eliminated more than 80% of the company’s headcount.
It is also unclear whether the compromise may have resulted in unauthorized access of Trump Jr.’s private direct messages, or whether Trump Jr. may have had two-factor authentication enabled on his account.
