The incident acts as an alert to the cryptocurrency community with risks associated with cybersecurity. Mostly, it highlights the hacking of accounts in this digital age. The accounts of famous personalities are always on point due to their influence in the community.

After the relentless cyberattacks of several days, John Deaton finally assures to gain the control of his account soon, but until further notice he wants everyone to maintain distance from his account, as tweeted by his co-lawyer James K Filan.
