For this, as the profile announces, it is simply necessary to click on a link and, in theory, the succulent gift will be ours. However, by following these steps in the hacked account of actor Jason Momoa, the user ends up on the website of a Spanish company that does business by providing our data to the large companies in our country .
The Instagram account of the American actor Jason Momoa has suffered a hack during the early morning and the morning of Wednesday, September 4 . His profile, with more than 13 million followers and official verification, has begun to publish images in which he announced that he was giving away thousands of technological products, whose total value is around 6 million euros .

The different stories announced the 2000 iPhone Xs as a gift, 1000 MackBoocks , 900 Apple Watch, 30 Tesla Model X cars (the price each of these cars is much higher than 100,000 euros) and 6,000 gift cards. All these ads contain a message that encourages you to open the attached link to claim our gift.
The hacked Instagram stories of the actor link to a website called Dude Mobile , in whose header the following message appears in English: " We need to do a quick check to make sure you're not a robot. Please download and run a free application to receive your Apple iPhone XS for free. " At the bottom of the screen you are asked to "complete one or more other offers to unlock this page".
This website emulates the design of an application market with two products. The first one says in Spanish: "Win a free H&M gift card. Enter your email and complete your steps to unlock the content."
