The X social media account of movie star Tom Holland was recently&nbsp;<a href="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GLUrSolWsAAFfDb?format=jpg&amp;name=medium" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">compromised</a> by hackers.
The account, which boasts more than 7 million followers, was used by bad actors to announce that the Spider-Man star was supposedly launching "Spiderverse" in partnership with the Binance exchange.&nbsp;
The compromised account also attached a link to a sham website, urging users to get early access to the fraudulent SPIDER cryptocurrency as well as Spiderverse NFTs.&nbsp;
The post, which was initially pinned on his profile, has already been taken down.&nbsp;

While Holland's "Spiderverse" post is certainly fake,&nbsp;<a href="https://u.today/shib-partners-with-marvel-collaborator-elon-musk-comments-on-teslas-btc-sales-xrp-suspicious" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Marvel</a> has already dipped its toes into Web3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
In late 2021, American movie theater giant AMC joined forces with Sony Pictures to offer thousands of non-fungible tokens to some people who purchased tickets for Holland's "Spider-Man: No Way Home" in advance. The movie managed to gross more than $1.9 billion, becoming a major hit. The NFT gimmick contributed to the second-biggest one-day ticket sales of all time for AMC.&nbsp;
Prior to that, New Zealand-based NFT company VeVe also teamed up with Marvel to offer Spider-Man NFTs. One of the NFTs included the very first Marvel book that was released all the way back in 1939.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
Earlier this year, Ethereum-powered digital collectibles platform VeVe also released NFT comics with such Marvel heroes as Spider-Man, X-Men, and so on.&nbsp;
