Paris, France- Kylian Mbappé, the renowned Real Madrid and France football star, found himself at the center of a social media storm when his X account (formerly Twitter) was hacked. The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Thursday, unleashed a series of provocative and controversial posts that quickly went viral, sparking widespread reactions across the football community.
The Hack and It’s Content
The hacker, posing as Mbappé, posted a slew of messages that stirred controversy and confusion among fans. Among the most incendiary posts was a statement declaring Cristiano Ronaldo as “the greatest football player of all time” while derogatorily referring to Lionel Messi, an eight-time Ballon d’Or winner, as “the midget” and “NOT my goat” (Greatest of All Time).
This comment was accompanied by an image of Messi crying, further fueling the long-standing rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi fans.
In addition to the Messi insult, the hacker claimed that Mbappé would be joining Manchester United in 2028, a statement that was met with skepticism given Mbappé’s current tenure with Real Madrid. The posts also included derogatory remarks about Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur, declaring “Manchester is Red” and making unfounded claims about potential transfers.
Cryptocurrency Chaos
One of the more bizarre aspects of the hack was the promotion of a cryptocurrency token named ‘$MBAPPE’. The hacker claimed that the token had reached 90,000 sales, and its market value temporarily soared to tens of millions before crashing back to zero. This led to a brief frenzy among cryptocurrency enthusiasts and further complicated the situation.
Community Reaction and Account Recovery
The football community reacted quickly to the hack, with many expressing disbelief and criticizing the apparent lack of immediate response from Mbappé’s PR team. Users on social media platforms condemned the offensive nature of the posts, while others took the opportunity to create memes and jokes about the incident.
Fortunately, Mbappé’s team managed to regain control of the account, and all unauthorized posts were swiftly deleted. The incident, however, left a mark, becoming a hot topic of discussion and highlighting the vulnerabilities of high-profile social media accounts.
As the dust settles, fans and followers are left pondering the motives behind the hack and the potential implications for Mbappé’s public image. Meanwhile, the football star continues to focus on his career with Real Madrid, aiming to put this digital debacle behind him.
