The X account, formerly known as Twitter, for the Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport has been hacked. Starting on Thursday, Jan. 15, the account started reposting posts mainly about cryptocurrency or even the capture of Maduro in Venezuela. The account has even been renamed @TheHodaLaw and the profile picture has the Hoda Law Firm in it with the cover photo providing a link to the Hoda website. The Hoda Law Firm is a Texas-based firm whose website says it specializes in “crypto scam recovery.”WISN 12 News anchor and investigative reporter Derrick Rose reached out to the firm about the hacking. The owner, Marshal Hoda, responded saying, “I have no idea what happened here. My firm represents victims of cryptocurrency-related scams in litigation against cybercriminals overseas. The only explanation I can think of is that one of our adversaries could have done this. But I don’t know why they would have done it, or why they would have chosen Mitchell Airport. If there is anything I can do to help, I’ll do it.”Harold Mester, public affairs director for Milwaukee Mitchell International Airport, told WISN 12 News in a statement that they have “reported the issue to X and are in queue for them to restore our access.” When asked if law enforcement was involved, Mester said, “Our security team is evaluating that and may get law enforcement involved if necessary.”Top HeadlinesMen involved in 2012 death of teen plead guilty, avoid jail timeResidents rescued, several injured in Milwaukee apartment fireWoman accused of stealing more than $46K from Brookfield American Legion Some Milwaukee businesses display anti-ICE signs amid enforcement concerns WATCH West Bend man hit by a bike, hospitalized in France
