Gay OnlyFans Creators Hit by Crypto X Hijack Wave

A coordinated string of X account hijackings has targeted gay OnlyFans creators, with attackers demanding crypto ransoms and commandeering feeds to blast MAGA propaganda. The most prominent victim was Patrick Bewley, a 60-year-old adult performer known as Daddy Patrick, who had amassed 132,000 followers on the platform before his account was stolen in April, according to a report from WIRED.

The attack started on April 9. Bewley received a direct message from porn director Jasun Mark, whose own account was already compromised. The message asked Bewley to nominate someone for an award and directed him to a fake X login page. After he entered his credentials, the attacker changed the account's name, phone number, and email. The handle was swapped twice.

The hijacker rebranded the page with a Steve Bannon banner linking to his War Room platforms. By April 16, the account was posting pro-Trump images and demanding $2,000 in GAT tokens for its return. Bewley refused. The attacker then contacted his employer, Ducati Studios Network, upping the price to $3,000 in crypto. The feed began reposting 20 to 30 MAGA items a day from accounts like @MAGAVoice.

Bewley was not alone. Performer Fabian Quezada, who works as Buck Bronco, was locked out on April 12 and threatened over WhatsApp. He refused to negotiate, fearing he would be drained of his money. He replaced all his bank and credit cards as a precaution, WIRED reported.

Creators Liam Angell and Jasun Mark eventually recovered their accounts. Mark lost access for a month. During that time, the attacker fired crypto posts at his 68,000 followers. In May, Chicago creator Gray Dickson publicly pleaded for help after repeated phishing attempts.
