马来西亚前总理马哈迪·穆罕默德（Mahathir Mohamad）的X帐户被黑客入侵以促进加密货币

事实证明，2月5日，马哈蒂尔的X（以前为Twitter）的帐户显然被黑客入侵。如今，被黑客入侵的社交媒体帐户宣布了促进加密货币的工作。

Former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad has denied involvement in promoting a cryptocurrency after his X (formerly Twitter) account was apparently hacked on Feb. 5.

马来西亚前总理马哈迪·穆罕默德（Mahathir Mohamad）否认他的X（以前为Twitter）帐户显然在2月5日被黑客入侵后，否认参与了加密货币。

The hacked account posted a tweet promoting a Solana token called “$Malaysia”, falsely claiming that it was the country’s official cryptocurrency and a “significant milestone” in showcasing Malaysia’s strength.

该黑客帐户发布了一条推文，宣传了一个名为“马来西亚”的索拉纳令牌，错误地声称这是该国的官方加密货币和展示马来西亚的实力的“重大里程碑”。

However, Malaysia does not have an official cryptocurrency.

但是，马来西亚没有正式的加密货币。

The tweet, which included a link to where the coin could be purchased, was accompanied by an image of the Malaysian flag.

该推文包括指向可以购买硬币的链接，并附有马来西亚国旗的图像。

An aide to Mahathir confirmed to Free Malaysia Today and MalaysiaKini that the former prime minister’s X account had been “hacked” and that his team was working on recovering the account.

马哈蒂尔（Mahathir）的一名助手今天向自由马来西亚（Free Malaysia）和马来西亚（Malaysiakini）证实，前总理的X帐户已被“入侵”，他的团队正在努力恢复该帐户。

The hacked post was published at 8:15 pm on Feb. 5 and had been taken down by the time FMT published their article, over an hour later at 9:37 pm.

该黑客帖子于2月5日晚上8:15发布，并在一个小时后的下午9:37发表文章发表文章时被取消。

Some X users speculated that the coin was part of a “pump and dump” scheme, and the coin enjoyed a spike in value that made it look like the Merdeka 118, Malaysia’s tallest building.

一些X用户推测硬币是“泵和垃圾场”计划的一部分，而硬币的价值却具有尖峰，使其看起来像马来西亚最高的建筑物Merdeka 118。

Mahathir later posted at 9:57 pm, confirming that his X account had been hacked.

马哈蒂尔（Mahathir）后来在晚上9:57发布，确认他的X帐户已被黑客入侵。

This is not the first time that an official Malaysian account has been hacked to promote cryptocurrency.

这不是马来西亚官方帐户第一次被黑客入侵以促进加密货币。

The Rakyat Post reported in September 2024 that several X accounts had been hacked, including those of official Malaysian government bodies, such as the Employees Provident Fund and the Election Commission.

Rakyat Post在2024年9月报道说，已有几个X帐户被黑客入侵，包括马来西亚官方政府机构的账户，例如雇员公积金和选举委员会。

On that occasion, it was also a Solana coin that was being promoted, but the hackers openly admitted that they were not affiliated with the account owners, saying brazenly that “THIS IS A HACKED ACCOUNT” and even calling the coin “$Hacked”.

在那个时候，这也是被提升的索拉纳硬币，但黑客公开承认他们与帐户所有者没有隶属关系，他大胆地说“这是一个被黑客的帐户”，甚至称硬币为“ $ hacked”。

Mahathir for his part has previously denied that he uses any cryptocurrency.

马哈蒂尔（Mahathir）以前否认他使用任何加密货币。

In 2021, Mahathir issued a statement that he would not encourage the use of cryptocurrency, referencing previous attempts to falsely claim that he was endorsing crypto coins.

2021年，马哈蒂尔（Mahathir）发表声明，他不会鼓励使用加密货币，提到以前的尝试错误地声称他认可加密货币。

“I have never and will not be involved in any get rich quick scheme”, he was quoted by the Malay Mail as saying.

“我从来没有，也不会参与任何致富的快速计划。”马来邮政援引他的话说。

Instead, he only used fiat currency or physical money.

相反，他只使用法定货币或实物货币。

Followers of Mahathir’s policy would know that cryptocurrency is an unlikely avenue for the former PM.

马哈蒂尔政策的追随者知道，加密货币对于前总理来说是不太可能的途径。

As opposed to embracing new forms of money, Mahathir once tried to propose a reversion to older forms of money.

马哈蒂尔（Mahathir）曾经试图对较旧的金钱进行回归，而不是拥抱新的金钱。

In 2019, he proposed that East Asian countries adopt a new regional currency, one that was not tied to the U.S. dollar, but instead tied to a gold standard, a practice that has not been common since the middle of the 20th century.

在2019年，他提出，东亚国家采用一种新的区域货币，这种货币与美元无关，而是与黄金标准相关的，这种做法自20世纪中叶以来就一直没有普遍。
