Hackers have potentially taken control of the official Twitter account belonging to Myanmar's military junta leader, using it to promote a fraudulent cryptocurrency. This incident is part of a growing trend where scammers exploit high-profile political figures to add credibility to scam tokens and deceive unsuspecting investors. The hackers posted about a national cryptocurrency launch, presenting it as an official digital asset. Crypto users quickly noticed irregularities and the hackers eventually shared multiple cryptocurrency wallet addresses before deleting them. Market observers questioned whether a military-led government could successfully launch a cryptocurrency, and noted that state-backed digital assets often serve as tools for financial control. This attack follows a pattern of cyber threats targeting political figures, where hackers use their social media accounts to promote fraudulent cryptocurrency schemes. Users are advised to stay vigilant and verify sources before engaging with any token promotions linked to public figures.
