The official UEFA Champions League Instagram account was recently hacked just before the match between Barcelona and Inter.
Scammers attempted to use the federation’s account to deceive people and steal money.
A post was made on Instagram with the caption: “Introducing UEFA Unity Coin ($UUC) – the official digital coin of the UEFA Champions League, redefining fan engagement in football and Web3.” The post also included a strange code at the end, making it even more obvious that it was a scam attempt by hackers.
UEFA managed to recover its account and delete the post before any damage or financial loss was caused to fans.
