Former President Jair Bolsonaro's X (formerly Twitter) profile was the target of a hacker attack on Thursday night, the 23rd. The hackers used the account to promote an alleged cryptocurrency, accompanied by photos of Bolsonaro alongside Donald Trump. The account was used to promote the cryptocurrency "BRAZIL", which was launched on the Solana blockchain.

Marcos Feliciano's profile posts about the BRAZIL memecoin and then deletes it.

Bolsonaro's son, Carlos Bolsonaro, a Rio de Janeiro city councilman, alerted his followers about the case, saying that the account had been hacked and stolen. He also said that he had started the process of recovering the account.

Posts about cryptocurrency are no longer available on the former president's page. The case highlights the vulnerability of verified social media accounts and the importance of online security. #criptomoeda #TRUMP #bolsonaro
