This incident came to light just one week after a major hacking incident involving a K-pop group. On March 4, the official YouTube channels of artists such as famous K-Pop groups Monsta X, IVE, and Cravity were compromised and rebranded as Elon Musk's space exploration company SpaceX.
Elon Musk is also one of the biggest supporters of cryptocurrencies. As for Bitcoin, its fortunes have improved after nearly a year of consistent stagnation. Over the past few weeks, the cryptocurrency has recovered from its decline and risen to new heights, with its value briefly exceeding the $70,000 mark. If current trends continue, Bitcoin's value could rise to the coveted US$100,000 level.
