Pro-XRP lawyers are raising awareness of a recent hack incident targeting attorney John Deaton’s Twitter account.
Attorney John Deaton, CryptoLaw founder, and lawyer representing thousands of XRP holders in the SEC vs. Ripple lawsuit, has become the latest victim of a Twitter hack.

Meanwhile, the official Twitter handle of CryptoLaw, a legal and regulatory news outlet created by Deaton, also commented on the development.

The Twitter handle urged Deaton’s followers to disregard any information coming from the account until the team at CryptoLaw discloses that the pro-XRP lawyer has regained access to the account.
