It’s a new day, and Twitter has a fresh issue to mull over. Hunter Biden is currently in the spotlight on Twitter after 4chan users alleged to have hacked his account. 4chan community members said they had hijacked the contents of the account of Hunter, who is the son of US President Joe Biden.

To back the claim, 4chan’s major political forum posted screenshots purportedly from Hunter Biden’s computer and phone. 4chan is an anonymous online English-language imageboard forum.
4chan is a site that allows its users to post anonymously and there is no accountability, or scope of information verification. The threads of the alleged hack was deleted by the website admin but it became a topic of discussion for Twitter users soon.

“4chan has apparently cracked Hunter Biden’s iPhone backup password and are leaking everything,” one user noted.
Another said, “Everything from the Hunter Biden laptop turned out to be true and two years later the media is still acting like none of it exists. Now it has a phone backup to start ignoring.”
Comparing the alleged leak to that of Donald Trump’s many controversies, one user wrote, “#4chan Its crazy to me that so many people blindly defend Hunter Biden. You don’t care if he and his father are criminals, you don’t care if there’s evidence of pedophilia in their family. As long as they’re not Trump they can do no wrong. People are so brainwashed.”
JR Majewski, Ohio’s 9th Congressional district Republican party candidate tweeted, “Rumor is that Hunter Biden’s iCloud has been hacked and the findings are being leaked online… and are very disturbing. Dare I say it again? “Trump was right, about EVERYTHING”
The microblogging site also quickly blew up with memes of the alleged hack.
