    4. This morning, Kylian Mbappé, the football sensation and Real Madrid striker, lost control of his Twitter account after a hack. The hacker behind the breach created a fake cryptocurrency token named $MBAPPE, which first surged and then instantly became worthless.

    Hack unleashes chaos

    The hacker used Mbappé’s social media account to post several provocative tweets. These tweets included statements like 'Manchester is red' and 'The greatest football player of all time, names Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi is NOT my goat'. There were also tweets about the Israel-Palestine issue, showing pro-Palestine support. These tweets were later deleted once it became evident that Mbappé's account had been hacked.

    $MBAPPE Token: 'Boom and Bust' in minutes

    Shortly after the hack, the $MBAPPE token created by the hacker gained traction on social media, and its value soared to tens of millions of dollars in no time. However, the bubble quickly burst, and the token's value plummeted to zero. One user managed to cash out $200,000, starting with just $286 in SOL tokens.

    Consequences

    Although the hacked tweets were swiftly deleted, this event will be long remembered both in the context of Mbappé’s Twitter account and the world of cryptocurrencies.

    The incident of Mbappé’s Twitter hack serves as a striking example of how fleeting events on social media can have significant impacts on the market value of cryptocurrencies.
