Big conspiracy hatched from Pakistan, 31X accounts hacked and fake AI videos of Iran-America-Israel war spread
Pakistan Hacker: In the era of social media, the faster news spreads, the faster fake information also goes viral. Recently, a shocking case has come to light, in which 31 big accounts of Elon Musk’s Company X were hacked and fake AI videos were spread. This entire matter has been disclosed by X’s product head Nikita Bear. He told that a person sitting in Pakistan hacked these accounts and used them to spread false videos related to Iran-America-Israel war. The surprising thing is that a common user could easily get confused after watching these videos.
Accounts hacked, names changed
According to the information, on February 27, this hacker simultaneously changed the names of 31 accounts to ‘Iran War Monitor’ or similar names. After this, such videos started being posted from these accounts, in which it was shown that Iranian rockets were attacking Israeli ships.
These videos were completely fake clips generated by AI, but they were made in such a way that they seemed real to the viewers. This is why within no time these videos started going viral and confusing people.
There was no propaganda, the only motive was to earn money.
During investigation it also came to light that the aim of this Pakistani user was not to promote any political ideology. The real goal was to earn money from X’s Creator Revenue Share Program.
According to Nikita Bear, some people take advantage of trending issues on social media to make AI videos and try to earn money by making them viral. Making fake videos on a sensitive topic like war was also a part of this greed.
X took strict action
As soon as this whole matter came to light, X’s team took immediate action. The company has blocked all 31 accounts and has also implemented new strict rules. Now if a user posts an AI video related to war and does not put an AI label on it, then he will be locked out of monetization for 90 days.
Apart from this, if a user makes such a mistake again, his account can be closed forever. The company has arrested many fake “IDF Girls” running from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Action has also been started on the accounts.
