Penrith Panthers’ star halfback Nathan Cleary has issued a public apology after his official X (formerly Twitter) account was reportedly hacked over the weekend. The account posted a series of unusual and offensive messages, causing confusion and concern among fans.
Cleary swiftly responded, releasing a statement confirming that he had no involvement in the posts. “My X account was compromised. The content shared does not reflect my views or values,” he said. “I sincerely apologise to anyone offended. We are investigating how this happened and taking steps to secure the account.”
The Panthers also released a brief statement backing their star player, stating they are working closely with cybersecurity experts and the NRL to resolve the issue. Fans have largely supported Cleary, recognising his long-standing professionalism on and off the field.
This incident comes just weeks before the Panthers enter a crucial stage of the NRL season, and Cleary is expected to remain focused on his role in leading the team. While the situation is being handled promptly, it highlights the growing threat of social media breaches for public figures.
