Multiple official X accounts belonging to large companies, organizations, and media outlets, in both the Philippines and abroad, have posted messages indicating that their accounts have been hacked on early Thursday.
“THIS IS HACKED ACCOUNT!! INTRODUCING $HACKED ON SOLANA - on each account we hack we publish the token address so we pump it and make profits together.”
JUST IN: Na-hack ang twitter accounts ng ilang media at iba pang malalaking kumpanya.

Among the accounts compromised by hackers are those of media giants ABS-CBN, GMA Network, and Esquire Philippines, as well as the event company Wilbros Live and the SM Mall of Asia account.
The widespread attack has also affected the accounts of foreign firms such as People magazine, Yahoo News UK, and the World Health Organization.
The tweets from these accounts have since been removed, and the cause of the hacking spree, as well as the identities of those responsible, remain unknown.
