Diego Maradona’s Instagram account was hacked on Friday morning. Instead of the ratings of the Ten, the channel appeared intervened by messages from the tycoon Elon Musk on cryptocurrencies.
Messages and stories were deleted from the profile over the course of hours. And everything is back to normal. Maradona’s children, who took control of the account after his unexpected death on November 25, 2020, did not clarify or explain what happened in the early hours of June 17.
One of Elon Musk’s messages suddenly appeared on Maradona’s account.
Maradona’s Instagram account, until then managed by the entourage of the former football player whose visible face was his lawyer and representative, Matías Morla, had allowed the posts to be uploaded six days after his death.
However, on September 16, 2021, Maradona’s children began managing the account and got it back up and running with a photo of the Smiling Ten in its best days, supported by a quote from Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano.
“No two fires are alike. There are big fires, small fires and fires of all colors. There are people with calm fires, who don’t even notice the wind. And people with crazy fires, which fill the air with sparks. . Some fires, foolish fires, do not light nor burn. But others burn life with such passion that you cannot look at them without blinking, and whoever approaches lights up, “reads the quote from the author of” Soccer in the Sun. and Shadows “and” Open Veins from Latin America “.
I then followed this message. “Your children want your matchless fire to never go out. That’s why we will keep your nets active, so that all who love and admire you have a place where they can pay you the tribute you deserve.”
The last post is a week old and tells of Maradona’s great performance in the match against Bulgaria, for the first phase of the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, the one that crowned him the best footballer in the world.
“Was this excluded from the Heroes movie? It is the last match of the first phase, against Bulgaria. It was 2-0 with goals from Valdano and Burruchaga. What would that 1986 World Cup have been like with social networks? radio, TV and newspapers, and you too had to play against them all “, reads the message accompanied by a clip of fantastic listening to the Ten.
