This incident highlights the growing trend of scammers promoting crypto schemes via well-known social media platforms like X. It also underscores the importance of users exercising prudence when interacting with digital assets and verifying the authenticity of investment possibilities, especially those promoted on celebrity accounts.
Taking advantage of Doja’s prominent position and substantial social media following, the hackers used her followers as bait to publish false information and links, encouraging them to invest in the fraudulent cryptocy DOJA after the breach.
However, unlike the earlier events involving 50 Cent and Hulk Hogan, the followers did not fall for the hacker’s fraudulent scheme therefore, the exploit did not live up to the criminal’s expectations. Doja’s swift move to inform her followers about her account being compromised by hackers is also attributed to this.
A few hours following the incident, the superstar took to her Instagram account to inform her fans about the development after being called out by several of her followers. “It is not me, it is literally an imposter. You guys do not believe whoever that was, okay? It was someone else,” she stated.
