Pro-XRP lawyer Jeremy Hogan’s scam tweet bonanza finally falls silent

Image
For the better part of the last four days, hackers used Hogan's account to promote fraudulent XRP giveaway scams. The recent flood of scam tweet s on pro-XRP lawyer Jeremy Hogan’s hacked account has finally dried up after nearly four days. Since July 24, the XRP community has been diligently warning others and tagging Twitter’s support after they noticed Hogan’s account tweeting malicious links for a purported XRP (XRP) giveaway. As of 1 am on July 28, all of the XRP-giveaway-related tweets have been deleted, suggesting Hogan has either regained access to his account or that Twitter support has finally intervened. The last tweet sent out from Hogan’s account — now deleted — said that he was “feeling so generous” and offered to return double the amount of XRP sent to his address. This is NOT Jeremy Hogan.
