Mark Cuban's Gmail Hacked in Google Hoax
Billionaire investor and Shark Tank star Mark Cuban revealed that his Gmail account was compromised by a phishing scam. The hacker, identified as 'noah,' posed as a Google representative and manipulated Google's recovery methods to gain unauthorized access. Cuban took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to alert his 8.8 million followers, advising them not to trust any emails from his address after 3:30 PM PST on Saturday. Some users speculated that the hack could have been facilitated by a spoofed SIM card linked to a false Google number.
This incident follows a previous cyberattack on Cuban's cryptocurrency wallet, where approximately $870,000 was stolen nine months ago. The latest breach has raised concerns about the vulnerability of even tech-savvy individuals to phishing scams. Cuban, who has been an advocate for stronger cryptocurrency regulations, recently suggested that the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) should oversee crypto regulations instead of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The hacking incident has led to mixed reactions, with some expressing support while others questioned the number of emails Cuban might have missed during the period of compromised access.
