**Fox News Star Greg Gutfeld's X Account Hacked - Scammers Post About Crypto and DM Followers for a 'Quick Favor'**

It appears that Fox News star Greg Gutfeld has fallen victim to a hacking incident on the social media platform X, with scammers posting about cryptocurrency and direct messaging users asking for votes in exchange for co-hosting an upcoming entertainment show.

A representative for Fox News confirmed that Gutfeld's personal account, which boasts 3.1 million followers, was hacked over the weekend. Just The News reporter Jerry Dunleavy shared screenshots of the compromising posts on Twitter, including one from "Coach Antonia," a self-proclaimed "Crypto & Options Mentor."

The post reads: "Just made my withdrawal from crypto trading with the incredible guidance of my coach. Grateful for the support on this exciting journey. Thank you @CoachAntonia Couldn't have done it without you. Here's to many more successful trades ahead." The post is accompanied by a champagne bottle popping emoji.

Dunleavy also shared a screenshot of a direct message from Gutfeld's account, asking for a "quick favor" - votes so that he can become the co-host of an unnamed entertainment program. This, despite his already busy schedule hosting his nightly show and co-hosting The Five.

Gutfeld's account was temporarily protected on Saturday afternoon, preventing users from seeing his posts. However, other prominent X users noticed the hack and warned their followers not to engage with Gutfeld's compromised account.

Right-leaning pundit Mike Cernovich tweeted: "Looks like @greggutfeld has been hacked. Watch out for this scam." Conservative actor Stephen L. Miller added: "Greg Gutfeld is latest victim of the hack. Don't respond to DM's from him."

Even some users who were not aware that Gutfeld's account was hacked fell prey to the scammers' requests, including former Saturday Night Live star-turned-political actor Rob Schneider. Schneider posted: "PLEASE VOTE FOR GREG GUTFELD YOU CAN DO IT!!" and shared a link that Gutfeld's compromised account was direct messaging users.

The incident has raised concerns about the vulnerability of social media platforms to hacking and scams, and highlights the need for increased security measures to protect users' accounts and prevent such incidents in the future.

Stay vigilant, X users! The hackers are on the loose, and it's up to us to protect ourselves from their scams.
