Kylian Mbappe has Twitter account hacked as messages about Man Utd & Ronaldo appear

JB

On Wednesday night, the Twitter account of Real Madrid and French football star Kylian Mbappe was hacked, leading to a series of strange posts.

Since joining Real Madrid on a free transfer, Mbappe has scored one goal in his first three matches, and his transfer to the Bernabeu is considered one of the most significant in recent years.

However, off the field, Mbappe faced a challenge when an unknown individual took control of his social media account. The primary aim of the hacker seemed to be connected to cryptocurrency.

The hacker used Mbappe’s account to make several unusual posts, including one claiming that he would join Manchester United in 2028….

The account also made posts about Tottenham and even asked popular streamer Angry Ginge if Mbappe could join his Pro Clubs team, Girth and Turf, which has featured players like Luke Littler and Wayne Rooney.

Another post claimed that Cristiano Ronaldo is a better player than Lionel Messi.

The hacker then began quoting various “Football Twitter” users before promoting a cryptocurrency scam, similar to what happened when Jamie Carragher’s account was hacked during Euro 2024.

Eventually, the suspicious tweets were deleted, suggesting that Mbappe and his team had regained control of the account.

However, as of early Thursday morning, tweets from the last 18 months were missing, and there were no visible replies. Gradually, the posts reappeared, with tweets up to August 2024 becoming visible again.

On the field, Mbappe and Real Madrid will find out who their eight opponents are for the new Champions League format’s inaugural season on Thursday morning. Real Madrid will be one of the seeded teams in the draw.
