Jamie Carragher's social media appears to have been hacked as the former Liverpool star's account posted how to make money from crypto.

The pundit's X account has been made private, with only approved followers able to view the Liverpool legend's content.

The latest post shows four images of a green Porsche, which the account puts down to "crypto profits".

Carragher's hacked message reads: "I don't usually post things like this, but it's only fair to give credit to my coach.

"Yesterday I made a withdrawal from my crypto profits, and today I was able to purchase a car quite remarkable.

"Grateful for the progress, thanks to @TennesseTracy for the guidance."

Carragher's account was taken over in the past during the 2024 European Championships.

Millions of people are hacked every year, with roughly one in three social media users experiencing some form of security incident.

Football finance expert Kieran Maguire shared a private message he has received from Carragher.

He said: "If you get a DM (direct message) from Jamie Carragher asking to click on a link for a competition or see some unusual posts on his account do not engage.

"Someone has hacked his account and it's a scam. Has happened to a few others too."

Carragher's Instagram page appears unharmed by the alleged hacking, which appears to have affected only his X account.

The Liverpool icon is due to broadcast later this evening on Sky Sports for Manchester United's clash against Brentford.

The Red Devils are looking to go three points clear of Aston Villa and Liverpool with a win tonight, giving them a nice cushion for a third-place finish.

Bruno Fernandes has eyes on the assist record in a Premier League season, with the Portuguese sitting on 18 assists.

Only Thierry Henry and Kevin De Bruyne, on 20, and Mesut Ozil, on 19, are above United's key playmaker.

United won their last game in west London against Chelsea 1-0, with Matheus Cunha getting on the end of a Fernandes ball in, to score the only goal of the game.

The Red Devils stay in Manchester for their next couple of games, with Liverpool coming to town on Sunday.

Brentford have been enjoying a very impressive campaign, winning the reverse fixture 3-1 in September.

The Bees have not beaten United at Old Trafford since 1937, but a win tonight would see them rise into the top six.
