Jakarta, Pintu News – Digital data theft has hit another big figure in the crypto industry, this time targeting Raj Gokal, co-founder of Solana, whose personal information was leaked through the Instagram account of famous hip-hop group Migos.

Check out the full information below!

Migos Instagram Account Breach

Migos’ Instagram account, which has over 13 million followers, appears to have been hacked. The hackers posted seven images featuring Raj Gokal’s personal documents, including uncensored photos of his driver’s license and passport. This incident shocked many as it shows how vulnerable personal data is in this digital age.

The leaked documents not only included Gokal’s information, but also showed a picture of what was allegedly Gokal’s wife holding his driver’s license. This adds to the long list of identity theft victims that continue to grow every year, highlighting the importance of securing personal data.

In one of the posts, there was a message threatening to sell the data if a ransom of 40 Bitcoin was not given. This shows a new modus operandi in cybercrime, where hackers not only steal data but also try to blackmail their victims.

The post also included Gokal’s phone number, with an invitation to spam calls to him. This is a clear example of how leaked personal information can be used to disrupt someone’s life, showing how important it is to keep personal information safe.

Reactions and Precautions

After the incident, the post was deleted by Instagram at 12:12 am on Tuesday. Raj Gokal himself had informed X (formerly Twitter) on May 21 about repeated attempts to hack into his email and social media accounts. This suggests that Gokal was already aware of the looming security threats.

This incident adds to the long list of hacking cases targeting famous personalities and influencers to promote crypto scams to their followers. This reaffirms that leaders in the crypto industry need to improve their security to avoid similar incidents in the future.

Conclusion

This case is a strong warning for all parties to take securing personal data more seriously. In an increasingly digital world, cybersecurity is no longer an option but a necessity, especially for those at the forefront of the technology and financial industries.
