Hackers have compromised HBO Max's Reddit account to spread malware that steals cryptocurrency. This malicious activity occurred on June 16, but it was only discovered a few days later.

The hackers used this access to post about a fake giveaway that promised free Bitcoin in exchange for downloading and installing a particular app.

This scam is an attempt to get users to download malware onto their devices, which would then allow the attackers to steal cryptocurrency from unsuspecting individuals.
