The official profile of the late Argentine star on the social network has been breached. Now it shows a photo of Pelé, its main sporting rival, as the main image.
Diego Maradona passed away on November 25, 2021, an unfortunate day that football fans cannot forget. However, in order to preserve his legacy and, above all, to maintain the bond that the Argentine star has generated with millions of fans, his children have decided to keep their social media accounts, which they even manage. This case, in fact, became one more reason for the dispute with Matías Morla, the lawyer who acted as the representative of the world champion in Mexico 86 until his death.
This space, which originally served to venerate his memory and to express his gratitude to the personalities with whom the Ten formed close ties of friendship during his time in football, he was attacked by hackers, who posted aggressive messages and, to crown the affront, replaced his image with that of his main sporting rival, Pelé .
no known origin
As is often the case in these cases, there is no known origin for the cyberattack. What is clear is the intention to establish differences from the Brazilian, with whom he shared the label of the best football player of the 20th century, according to FIFA. “We are pleased to inform you that all accounts of the second king of football have already been recovered. ”, holds an image that now appears on the platform. It specifies that the first is Pelé, who appears holding a ball, like a goalkeeper.
Most of the messages that appear, so far, are written in Portuguese. The first, in fact, alluded to the addictions that Maradona faced in his life. “marradroga is one of the most repeated expressions in the posts.
In the hours after the first offensive, images of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo appeared, others of the footballers with whom the Transandean discuss, at least in the perception of the attackers, the stellar condition in the history of football .
restore normalcy
Through one of the official profiles they manage on Instagram, Maradona’s children report the problem and try to solve it. “We regret to inform you that our father’s official Facebook account has suffered a cyberattack . We are working to reverse this hack as soon as possible. From now on we repudiate the contents of the publications which are made “, specify their heirs.
The problem is that, so far, none of the mechanisms that could be used to restore normality in space seem to have worked.
