Donald Trump Jr.’s X account hacked

Donald Trump Jr.’s account on X was hacked early Wednesday, sending a series of offensive tweets — including a sickening one falsely announcing the death of his dad, former President Donald Trump.

“I’m sad to announce, my father Donald Trump has passed away. I will be running for president in 2024,” read the first message from Don Jr.’s account, at 8:25 a.m.

Proving he was still alive, the former president sent an unrelated message on his own X rival, Truth Social, at 8:46 a.m. — more than 20 minutes after the fake death announcement.

A series of obviously hacked messages quickly followed on Don Jr.’s account, including an inflammatory one saying that “North Korea is about to get smoked,” and another pretending to show Don Jr. saying he had “some interesting messages with Jeffrey Epstein,” more than four years after the pedophile died in a Manhattan lockup.

Other tweets on his account read “F–k Joe Biden,” calling him a “stupid ass” n-word, and another claiming crypto personality Richard Heart, who was accused of stealing $12 million from investors, is innocent.

“When I become president I am going to burn the SEC,” the fake tweet said.

The tweets were removed from his page just before 9 a.m.

The former first son’s spokesman, Andrew Surabian, tweeted that the earlier messages were “obviously not true,” confirming: “Don’s account has been hacked.”

It is unclear whether Trump Jr. had two-factor authentication enabled, and whether the hacker may have been able to access his personal messages.

When reached by The Post, an X spokesperson said he was “busy now” and to “please check back later.”

The incident raises fresh questions about the platform’s ability to secure user accounts — especially those belonging to high-profile political figures — ahead of the 2024 election.

X is still under investigation by the Federal Trade Commission over its ability to protect user data and whether it may have violated binding commitments it made in 2011 to secure the platform.

The investigation began after former security chief Peiter “Mudge” Zatko filed a whistleblower disclosure, alleging widespread and unaddressed security vulnerabilities.
