Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky Confirms X Account Was Hacked

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky confirmed his account on X was compromised earlier today. The attacker used the verified profile to post messages about tokenization and various crypto projects to his followers.

Once Chesky regained control of his account, he deleted the unauthorized posts. He also issued a lighthearted warning to any new followers gained during the hack, stating that he would be a disappointing person to follow for those interested in crypto news.

This incident serves as a reminder for users to enable two factor authentication on their social media accounts. High profile accounts remain frequent targets for attackers looking to spread misinformation or scams to a large audience.
