[[File:Jaylenbrownphishing.jpg|thumb|Jaylen Brown And Phishing]]Jaylen Brown is a professional basketball player who plays for the Boston Celtics. On September 3rd, his Twitter account was taken over by a hacker.

How much was lost and how was it calculated? If there are conflicting reports, which are accurate and where does the discrepancy lie?

== Immediate Reactions ==
"Up to now, the thieves have used the Brown account to continuously update nearly 30 developments."

"In addition to false tokens, the remarks include attacks on Brown teammates. Tam, Nike, actor Sidney Sweeney, etc."

"On Tuesday, Brown's account went viral for the hacking, and fans were divided after seeing some of his recent posts."

"While we can't be sure of the hacker's intentions, it seems safe to assume that he wants to drive up the price of his cryptocurrency in order to make a quick buck. So instead of going out of his way to troll Jaylen Brown with wild posts, the hacker is taking it as an opportunity to trick people into investing in his currency."
