In a surprising turn of events, the late Argentine football legend Diego Maradona’s Facebook account was hacked, resulting in controversial posts that targeted not only Maradona’s untimely demise but also took a direct jab at Cristiano Ronaldo. The incident has left fans and followers of the Argentine legend in a state of disbelief.
Since November 2020, Maradona’s Facebook account has been officially managed by his daughter, Dalma, along with the assistance of other family members. However, on a recent Tuesday, a series of posts surfaced on the account, raising suspicions of unauthorized access and hacking.
The nature of these messages caught immediate attention, with the first post questioning the authenticity of Maradona’s death itself.
“They do know that I faked my death, right?”
Shortly thereafter, a more direct attack was launched, targeting Cristiano Ronaldo and showering praise on Lionel Messi.
The Insult Aimed at Cristiano Ronaldo
The translated message from the hacker read,
“Long live Messi, CR7 is an a*****e.”
The derogatory comment aimed at Ronaldo quickly went viral, fueling the already fierce rivalry between Messi and Ronaldo fans.
The hacker’s audacity to infiltrate Maradona’s Facebook account and use it as a platform to launch personal attacks has gathered significant attention and stirred up emotions among football fans worldwide.
Fans of both Ronaldo and Messi engaged in passionate debates, defending their respective idols and condemning the act of hacking. The incident also brought attention to the vulnerability of high-profile social media accounts and the potential consequences of unauthorized access.
As of now, the identity of the hacker remains shrouded in mystery. Investigations are ongoing to trace the source of the unauthorized access and hold the responsible party accountable. The football community eagerly awaits updates on the progress of the investigation, hoping for swift justice to be served.
This incident raises important questions about the role of social media in the modern football landscape. The power and reach of these platforms make them a double-edged sword.
While they provide opportunities for fans to connect, share their passion, and engage in healthy discussions, they are also susceptible to misuse and malicious activities, such as hacking and spreading false information. The incident serves as a reminder that athletes and public figures need to remain vigilant in safeguarding their online presence.
