๐ต๐พ Paraguayโs President Santiago Peรฑa was targeted in a crypto scam after hackers took control of his official X (Twitter) account on June 9.
๐จ The hacked post falsely claimed:
Paraguay was adopting Bitcoin as legal tender
A new $5 million BTC reserve had been created
People could invest by sending money to a wallet address
๐ Official Response:
The presidentโs team confirmed the hack and warned the public to ignore the post. The account is now under the control of CERTPY, the national cybersecurity agency.
๐ง Red Flags Noticed by Users:
The post was written in English, not the usual Spanish
The message sounded like a typical crypto scam
Many users quickly suspected the account had been hacked
๐ Why It Matters:
This fake news came as several Latin American countries are exploring Bitcoin adoption, following El Salvadorโs move to make BTC legal tender in 2021.
Even Panama Cityโs mayor recently hinted at creating a Bitcoin reserve, fueling real speculation in the region.
โ ๏ธ Bigger Problem: Weak Security
This incident highlights how official accounts are becoming prime targets for crypto scams. Experts say stronger protections are needed to stop misinformation and fraud in real-time.
