Scammers hacked the late actor Matthew Perry’s Twitter account and posted a fake plea for cryptocurrency donations in the name of his foundation. The foundation confirmed the post was a scam and urged people not to donate.
The article details several possibilities for how the account may have been compromised, highlighting the importance of strong passwords and multi-factor authentication for securing social media accounts, especially for celebrities with large followings.
Weird that they wouldn’t either delete the account or memorialize it thereby removing the ability to log in or create posts.
But hey! It’s Twitter, the worst managed social media platform on the internet!
I don’t think that’s a thing on Twitter? And not to defend Twitter, but it would be something for his estate to handle, not Twitter themselves.
