South Actor Chaitanya X Account Hacked, Promotes Bitcoin Scam

Popular South Indian actor Chaitanya’s X (formerly Twitter) account with over 2.6 million followers, was hacked in a Bitcoin scam!

Hackers took control of the account and posted a fake giveaway message, claiming the actor had purchased 100 BTC for $50 back in 2013, which is now worth $6 million. They urged followers to vote on whether he should do a giveaway.
