The hackers who might be assumed to be Bitcoin traders replaced the profile and the cover image of Diamond Platnumz's account by putting Elon Musk's Tesla's Logo on the profile section and turned off the comment section in the video they shared.
Few hours after the hacking attempt, Head of digital department at WCB Wasafi known as Kim Kayndo confirmed the hacking scheme, by replying to one twitter user, that Diamond Platnumz's account has been fully restored and it is back on track.
