Linus Ekenstam's X Account Hacked Amid $10K Ransom Demand and Political Motives
Linus Ekenstam's X account has been hacked, and he is currently unable to access it. Ekenstam has reached out to X's support team for assistance in restoring his account. Friends and followers of Ekenstam are spreading the word on social media to increase visibility and urge X to take action. Ekenstam has confirmed the hack through a personal phone call and has set up an alternative account to communicate with his followers. The hacking incident has raised concerns among users about account security on the platform. Additionally, the hacker of XVanFleet's account demanded a $10,000 ransom, and another user, jenniferzeng97, was also targeted but did not fall for the trap. Some believe the hackers have a political agenda against X and Elon Musk.

Linus is one of the great voices in AI and just a great guy. His main account was hacked and stolen and it is clear to me that the operators have a political agenda against X and @ElonMusk directly. THEY WANT TO DESTROY X AND YOU. It is my hope he gets his main account back. https://t.co/k0cEqyGqR8
