Airbnb CEO's Social Media Account Hacked With Fake Crypto Posts

Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky said someone hacked his social media account in mid-July 2026 and posted a fake thread about turning real-world assets into digital tokens — essentially writing digital certificates of ownership on a blockchain. Chesky denied it was real. The posts were deleted (CoinDesk, July 17, 2026). No company action happened. Trust SEC filings, not social media.
