Tom Holland’s Twitter hacked: Actor’s account compromised in cryptocurrency scam

Tom Holland’s Twitter account was hacked, causing a stir among fans and followers of the beloved actor. On Tuesday, a cryptic tweet was posted from Holland’s account, announcing a partnership with cryptocurrency platform Binance for the launch of Spiderverse-themed NFTs and a new coin called $SPIDER. The tweet included a link to ‘spiderverse.app’ and urged fans to register for early access.

However, it was soon revealed that Holland’s account had been compromised, and the tweet promoting the cryptocurrency was taken down. The actor’s Twitter bio was also altered to feature the link to the supposed partnership. Screenshots captured before the post was removed showed a mysterious man’s selfie on Holland’s profile, indicating the hacker’s presence.

The timing of the hack coincided with the return of Sam Raimi’s 2002 Spider-Man movie to select theaters, adding to the confusion and speculation surrounding the incident. Fans took to social media to express their relief that Holland had not actually ventured into the world of cryptocurrency and to share memes about the situation.

While some fans used the opportunity to joke about the hack, others pointed out how Holland’s absence from social media had prevented him from defending his co-star Francesca Amewudah-Rivers, who faced backlash and racist remarks following casting news for their West End Play. The incident served as a reminder of the risks of online security and the importance of staying vigilant against hacking attempts.
