This recent incident occurred just months after Cuban’s cryptocurrency wallet was drained of over $800,000. According to Cuban, Noah posed as an employee from Google trying to help him “secure” his Gmail account.
“I just got hacked at my mcuban@gmail.com because someone named Noah at your 650-203-0000 called and said I had an intruder and spoofed Google’s recovery methods,” Cuban posted.
Tech experts say this is a common trick used by hackers to deceive their victims into revealing personal information or account details that could be used to gain access.
&nbsp;Notably, Cuban proceeded to caution his 8.8 million followers not to act on any email from the account as he was not responsible for its contents. “If anyone gets anything from mcuban@gmail.com after 3:30 pm pst it’s not me,” he stated.

Cuban’s Gmail hack comes just nine months after<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/mark-cuban-loses-900k-in-hot-wallet-exploit-details/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> Cuban’s hot wallet was drained of approximately $870,000</a>. In that incident, Cuban had stayed away from his MetaMask account for some months and the hackers were monitoring and waiting for him to log on. The hack was spotted by an independent blockchain investigator, Wazz, who noticed suspicious activity in one of Cuban’s wallets, which had not been used for about five months.
The billionaire investor is not the only one attacked by these mischievous characters.<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/american-rapper-50-cents-x-account-hacked-to-post-false-gunit-token-crypto-scam/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> American rapper 50 Cent was recently targeted by a hacker</a> who utilized his X account to promote a fraudulent cryptocurrency.

Despite these setbacks, Cuban remains a vocal advocate for cryptocurrency. He recently<a href="https://thecoinrise.com/mark-cuban-urges-cftc-regulation-for-crypto-ahead-of-election/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> urged the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) to regulate “all crypto”</a> instead of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Cuban also called on members of Congress to provide clarity in regulation of the crypto industry ahead of the U.S. presidential election.
