Tanzanian Billionaire’s X Account Hacked, Used for AI Deepfake Scam
📢 Forbes reports that Tanzanian billionaire Mohammed Dewji’s X account was hacked and used to promote $Tanzania token via AI deepfake videos.
🛑 Dewji denies involvement, stating his account is still compromised.
⚠️ Hackers disabled comments and posted 4 deepfake videos to lure investors. Within hours, victims poured in $1.48M.
💰 The group is suspected to be the same hackers behind the $1.3M scam using Brazilian ex-president Jair Bolsonaro’s hacked X account.
❌ X has yet to respond.
I strongly believe the rate at which we are having scam issue is getting rampant. Something needs to be done to it
