Details of the hack
The hacked account also posted a link to a fraudulent website enticing users to gain early access to the fake SPIDER cryptocurrency and Spiderverse NFTs. In some screenshots indicating a possible hack, a selfie of the mystery man was found appearing on the actor's Platform X profile.
The selfie of the hacker, believed to be a man with curly hair, showed his face hidden behind a mask pulled up to his chin. This may be a nod to the iconic upside-down kiss scene from the original Spider-Man film. The post containing this image has since been deleted.
