Bristol Rovers have issued a warning to supporters amid a potential data breach after CEO Tom Gorringe’s Twitter account was hacked.
At 21:19 on Tuesday night, a string of strange messages started appearing on Gorringe’s Twitter feed with his username changed to “vitalik.eth” and profile picture also altered to a low resolution stock image of Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of the Ethereum cryptocurrency.
The account sent three messages over the course of 19 minutes to its 6,000 followers: “Being a CEO is really hard”; “We may not win every match but we are ready to train hard and dream of winning the championship league”; “the next UEFA is going to be ours. Mark my words.”
