Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen’s ex-girlfriend, Brittany Williams, has claimed that hackers gained unauthorized access to her social media accounts and posted an offensive insult regarding Allen’s intelligence.
Allen’s camp has denied any connection to the incident. The NFL is investigating the matter, and the FBI has been notified. Experts in cybersecurity are assisting in the investigation.
In a statement released through her attorney, Williams said: “I want to make it clear that I had nothing to do with the offensive post that was made on my Instagram account. I am fully cooperating with the NFL and law enforcement to get to the bottom of this situation.”
Allen and Williams dated for several years but split in 2022. The insult was posted in response to a comment from a fan who suggested Allen’s decision-making was being affected by concussions.
The incident has raised concerns about the vulnerability of social media accounts to hacking. Law enforcement officials warn that sophisticated cybercriminals can easily access personal information and gain control of accounts.
The investigation is ongoing, and the outcome remains uncertain. If the hackers are identified, they could face charges of computer crimes. Allen could also pursue legal action against Williams if he believes she was responsible for the insult.
The incident serves as a reminder to take steps to protect social media accounts from unauthorized access. Experts recommend using strong passwords, enabling two-factor authentication, and being cautious about sharing personal information online.
