00:00It's Benzinga bringing Wall Street to Main Street
00:02Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said his ex-account was hacked earlier this week
00:07and used to promote real-world asset tokenization, according to Benzinga.
00:12Chesky later joked that his new cryptocurrency followers would find him disappointing.
00:17The unauthorized thread claimed he had been monitoring tokenization
00:20and suggested something real was developing beneath the industry's noise.
00:25Chesky had not previously posted about tokenization
00:28and rarely discussed cryptocurrency.
00:30Benzinga contacted Airbnb to confirm whether the account is secure
00:33and whether Chesky published the latest update.
00:37Hackers used the SpaceX AI and Starlink X accounts to promote the Scatman meme coin
00:41before selling off the token and leaving investors with losses.
00:46Ross Gerber's X account was hacked last year to promote a Tesla-linked cryptocurrency.
