Was JiDion hacked on Twitter? Streamer’s account posts new NFT promotion

Streamer and YouTuber Jidon "JiDion" was hacked earlier today, April 14. The hacker(s) gained access to his Twitter account and has been posting a series of tweets promoting an NFT project. In their latest post, they claimed that the first 100 people to buy the NFT would get a chance to collaborate with YouTuber Jimmy "MrBeast."

JiDion confirmed on Instagram that his Twitter account was compromised. He urged his followers to mass report the account so it would get restricted.

Was JiDion doxxed? Twitter account shares Social Security Number

The hacker(s) appears to have shared JiDion's private information on Twitter. They posted a picture of the YouTuber's driver's license, which mentions his Social Security number. The post has since been deleted, and its authenticity is questionable.

They also tweeted that those who purchased the NFTs would receive free merchandise and the ability to access bloopers and behind-the-scenes footage of the YouTuber.

Fans should exercise caution and not engage with any suspicious links or messages sent from his hacked account. They may lead to harmful or fraudulent activity, such as phishing scams or malware installations.

At the time of writing, Jidon's Twitter account remains hacked, and the posts promoting the NFT project are still up. The hacker has also disabled replies to most of the tweets, presumably to avoid the backlash.

What did the fans say?

Fans were quick to notice suspicious activity on the YouTuber's Twitter account. Jidon's prompt response in confirming the news of the hacking helped curb the number of scams. Given that the account has over 600K followers, it is possible that some individuals had already fallen for the trap.

Some are speculating that the incident was a prank or staged for an upcoming video.

However, given the suspicious content being posted and the streamer's request for fans to report the situation, it seems unlikely to be a joke.

Jidon has recently shifted to Rumble, a streaming platform that promotes free speech. He hosted a couple of livestreams, including a recent UFC event. He was also live earlier today, prior to getting hacked, using an army tank.

His works have caught the attention of the heavyweights, with the PR team of Sidemen (a YouTube group he’s been following since his teenage days) and Chess.com reaching out to him for sending exclusive press releases.

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
