A hacker has compromised a backend system for Doublespeed, an a16z-funded startup that uses a phone farm to flood social media with AI-generated TikTok accounts, and attempted to have those accounts post memes calling a16z the “antichrist,” according to screenshots seen by 404 Media.

The hack is at least the second time Doublespeed has been compromised. The startup uses AI to create fake influencers, generate videos, and post comments.
