Imran Khan, who used to be Pakistan's prime minister and now leads one of the country's largest political parties, has admitted that hackers broke into his Instagram account and used it to spread a hoax about giving away a cryptocurrency.
Some people say that Imran Khan's official Instagram account was broken into on Monday. Today, Khan's Instagram page shared a photo that seemed to thank Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla Motors, for "donating" three Bitcoins. Khan gave the photo to another person.
Khan's Instagram page, which she uses to share photos, recently posted a story with a copy of Elon Musk's tweet saying that he had won $100,000. In the above report, the CEO of Space X was thanked by the chairman of PTI, whose account was checked.
The same post was also put on Instagram, but for some reason, it has since been taken down. Even on Musk's official Twitter account, the supposed tweet from his account could not be found.
Fans and people in Khan's party have told him not to respond to tweets that are out of character, but the former Prime Minister of Pakistan hasn't said anything official yet.
In December, the Pakistan Embassy in Serbia tweeted that government workers were not getting paid. Serbia is where the Embassy is located.
Someone broke into Imran Khan's Instagram account and used it to promote a cryptocurrency scam.
He told the Dawn daily that Meta, who owns both Facebook and Instagram, helped him quickly get his account back online. He said he is one of the 7.4 million people who follow the account. He also said that hackers had added a link to a cryptocurrency and a picture of a tweet from Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla. The picture came from one of Musk's tweets.
The link on the politician's account to a site that gives away bitcoins can be used to go to a site that talks about Musk and his company SpaceX. Scammers say they're giving away bitcoin (BTC), ether (ETH), dogecoin (DOGE), and litecoin (LTC), but they're not (LTC). With Bitcoin Motion, anybody can trade cryptocurrency and make money.
Imran Khan's Instagram page links to a website where people can get free cryptocurrency.
For instance, a lot of scams on popular social media sites like Twitter and YouTube involve giving away cryptocurrencies. A lot of them are about famous people and companies, like Elon Musk, Tesla, SpaceX, Apple, Tim Cook, Steve Wozniak, Warren Buffett, and Bill Gates, among others. CEOs of cryptocurrency startups are often there, like Brian Armstrong, who runs Coinbase.
In July 2020, Wozniak sued Google and YouTube, saying that they had used his name and picture to promote fake bitcoin giveaways. In July, hackers broke into the British Army's official YouTube and Twitter accounts and used them to spread fake scams about giving away cryptocurrency. These accounts have been used before by someone else.
People have said that both YouTube and Google gave away fake prizes.
Wozniak said in July 2020 that YouTube and Google were helping scammers give away bitcoins by using their photos and identities in ads. He really should have won the court case. At the end of the trial, the judge said, "Federal law protects YouTube and the businesses it owns, including Google LLC." With this law, websites don't have to take responsibility for what their users post.
In July, hackers also broke into the official YouTube and Twitter accounts of the British Army and used them to tell people about their programs to give away bitcoins. This is what happened after the accounts had been broken into.
