Donald Trump Jr.’s Twitter account was hacked on September 20.
The hacker posted a series of disturbing and bizarre messages, including a false announcement of former President Trump’s death. This shocking incident raised serious concerns about the security of social media accounts, even those belonging to high-profile individuals.
The first message, sent at 8:25 AM ET, falsely announced the death of the 45th President, Donald Trump. The hacker, posing as Trump Jr., declared he would be running for president in 2024 in his father’s place.
This unsettling message was followed by a series of other bizarre posts, one of which ominously stated, “North Korea is about to get smoked.”
