ESPN insider Jeff Passan’s Twitter hacked in thick of MLB lockout negotiations

Hackers picked a heck of a day to grab Jeff Passan’s Twitter account.

One minute the ESPN MLB insider was breaking the information that the MLB and MLBPA had come to an settlement on the worldwide draft, which was a serious hurdle for the 2 sides to clear, and earlier than you knew it he was apparently hacked by crypto scammers.

ESPN MLB insider Jeff Passan’s Twitter account was hacked by crypto/NFT scammers within the thick of MLB lockout information.

The obvious hackers modified his account title to “Jeff.eth (Jeff Passan)” and retweeted a number of posts from the account @SkulltoonsNFT.

Because the world waits with bated breath to seek out out if the MLB lockout has formally concluded, that is concerning the worst time potential for Passan – one of many odds-on favorites to interrupt the information – to lose entry to his Twitter.
