In the digital age voices can echo, resonate, and influence millions in one click. But what happens when some of those trusted voices begin spreading unexpected messages? This episode of True Cybercrime Stories dissects the day when high-profile accounts on ‘X’ (formerly known as Twitter) - from Elon Musk to Barack Obama - were hijacked to promote a Bitcoin scam. Adrian Lester delves into this infamous day of international digital deception, pulls back the curtain on the implications of the breach and poses a thought-provoking question: ‘In a world of constant connectivity, just how secure is our online presence?’
