French football star Kylian Mbappé's X (formerly Twitter) account was hacked on August 29 while he was in Spain, leading to a series of controversial posts and a potential cryptocurrency scam. The hacker released a fake token named MBAPPE, which saw its market value surge to $470 million before crashing to zero. The incident included offensive tweets about other footballers such as Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, as well as political statements. The hacker also mentioned Manchester United and promoted the Pumpdotfun token. The account has since been restored.
