BBC’s Nick Robinson Confirms Social Media Hack Promoting Cryptocurrency

The Radio 4 presenter revealed his X account was compromised to advertise a fake cryptocurrency linked to the Today programme.

Nick Robinson, BBC Radio 4 Today presenter, disclosed that his X account was hacked late Monday night to promote a fraudulent cryptocurrency called '$TODAY'.
The hacked post falsely claimed Robinson and the Today programme were launching a cryptocurrency on the Solana blockchain, praising Donald Trump’s business acumen.
Robinson confirmed on air that he remains locked out of his account and warned against clicking on suspicious links online.
Co-host Amol Rajan joked that the hack might be linked to Robinson’s recent criticism of Elon Musk, who owns X and has been scrutinized for comments about BBC funding.
The incident follows similar hacks targeting BBC presenters, including Laura Kuenssberg, whose account previously advertised another cryptocurrency scam.
