"Before arriving at Park Slope's Nitehawk Cinema for his official launch event, Lander resurfaced online with a quip: Logging back on from my new Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing after a busy launch day. Did I miss anything? Lander, 56, said he did not know why or by whom his account was breached, but stated that his team worked with the platform to restore access."
"People know I'm not a Bitcoin hawker, he told amNewYork, adding that no one would mistake him for the crypto-supporting mayor, Eric Adams, nor imagine he had Cadillacs to sell. The issue provided some levity to a room otherwise primed for urgency. In a nod to his launch-day ad, Lander again cast himself as Mr. Rogers with a steel spine, telling supporters the country is facing a five-alarm fire for our democracy and needs leaders willing to confront Donald Trump's attacks on immigrants, civil rights,"
"Brad Lander's congressional campaign launch hit an unexpected speed bump Wednesday when his X, formerly Twitter, account was briefly hijacked by hackers posting about crypto windfalls and a powder-blue Cadillac. The outgoing city comptroller quickly turned the episode into a joke and a fundraising pitch as he kicked off his primary challenge to Rep. Dan Goldman in Brooklyn on Dec. 10."
Brad Lander's X account was briefly hijacked by hackers who posted about crypto windfalls and a powder-blue Cadillac. His team worked with the platform to restore access. He responded with a quip about logging back on from a Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing and used the episode as humor and a fundraising pitch at his campaign launch. He framed the race as urgent, saying the country faces a five-alarm fire for democracy and needs leaders to confront attacks on immigrants, civil rights, and democratic institutions. His wife urged that the district cannot settle for business as usual.
