MJF’s Twitter Account Compromised in Hacking Incident

MJF is the latest victim in a growing series of Twitter hacks targeting pro wrestlers—and this time, the hacked account was used to push a full-on investment scam.

Fans were left confused after a couple of now-deleted tweets appeared on MJF’s verified Twitter account, promoting a phony crypto-style money flip via WhatsApp. One tweet told fans to contact “Vicky” and start investing with just $800 to allegedly earn big returns.

“You’ll be able to get help from her. Tell her I referred you that you want to invest. Do not miss this opportunity. Message her on WhatsApp now to start up your trading. I gotcha on 👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻 with just $800 and thank me later.”

The tweet even included a suspicious number. Along with it came a fake text conversation showing a user thanking “Vicky” for helping transfer money into their Cash App account—clearly aimed at tricking fans into buying into a fraudulent scheme.

A second tweet quickly followed from MJF’s account, repeating the scam with more urgency:

“Just hit her up on WhatsApp directly. You can get bonus points when you use my username. Good luck you’ll +1 (628) 252-8027”

The tweets were quickly removed, but not before being seen by fans who flagged the suspicious content. MJF hasn’t publicly commented yet, but the tweets are gone. MJF then took to Twitter and addressed the hack after regaining control:

“My Twitter got hacked. If you were messaged by me that I needed money, my apologies. However, if you were messaged by me and you were dumb as f**k enough to believe that… my Venmo information is below.

This comes after AJ Styles also had his Twitter hacked earlier this year—his situation involved someone stealing his SIM card through an AT&T breach, which gave hackers full access. Styles clarified on Instagram that he was only able to view the damage using his wife’s phone, calling the hacker a “moron” for posting racial slurs and offensive content.

MJF’s breach didn’t feature hate speech like Styles’ did, but instead pushed a crypto-style cash-grab scam—similar to tactics seen in other celebrity account breaches.

With Asuka and Nick Aldis also affected in the past, it’s clear that wrestlers are being deliberately targeted. Whether the goal is shock value or financial fraud, these account hacks are becoming a serious problem across the business.

Are Twitter and social platforms doing enough to protect talent from these hacks? Should wrestling companies step in with better cybersecurity protections for their stars? Sound off in the comments—we want to hear what you think.
