Dov Kleiman has been accused of hacking a rival account in the craziest wars between NFL aggregators in recent memory.
On Thursday, @TheGameDayNFL released an eight-minute video on X alleging the Kleiman has been entering the account in the middle of the night via access granted to him several years ago and sending hateful tweets to people like NFL insider Jordan Schultz and JPA Football, another NFL aggregation account.
In a lengthy statement to The Post on Thursday, Kleiman denied the claims, saying, “They’re clearly lying and have been busted in their lie in their own video.”
In TheGameDayNFL’s video, which has been viewed nearly five million times since posting, the four Gen-Z men who host the “Caps Off” podcast — Adam Tabatchnik, Matan Mann, Jack Parodi and Felipe Fontes — explained that for years someone has been going into the GameDayNFL account and sending mean tweets from it, and that this persisted even after they had repeatedly changed the password and restricted access.
“Jordan [Schultz] is sick and wants free engagements so he plays down because he wants free money from Elon. He should be unfollowed,” one of the myriad tweets in question read.
“We would never say that about Jordan!” one of the hosts said, to which another chimed in, “We’ve worked with Jordan.”
The group accused Kleiman of having previously used “burner” accounts to attack rivals, and claimed it was identical language to some of the hateful tweets coming from their account.
Fontes revealed the Kleiman had access to the GameDayNFL account a few years back for a “Twitter takeover,” where they hired names with big social followings to run the account during games in hopes of driving engagement, and speculated the Kleiman still had access from that time.
Fontes continued to speculate that Kleiman was accessing their account through a “third-party Google Chrome extension” that enables users to continue accessing the now-defunct Tweetdeck app, and because of the loophole it would mean he was never logged out.
Fontes claimed to have mimicked the browser extension and determined that Kleiman still had access to the account via the Tweetdeck workaround.
Kleiman, who previously described to The Post his origins as a ubiquitous NFL aggregator, said The GameDayNFL accusations were all about looking for attentions.
“They’re targeting me, a bigger account for attention, likes and views — and look at the last thing they wrote in the tweet, they’re dying for me to respond and give them more attention,” Kleiman told The Post.
“They have not once contacted me via DM or Email to ask me about this prior to posting – not once… isn’t that suspicious if this was a real story?”
He continued, “It’s not ‘Hacking’, if they give the person the access so they’re already admitting they’re lying in the video which questions their entire case isn’t it? So they gave me and other people access to their account three years ago. Not sure how that is any proof that I sent rogue tweets three years later?”
Kleiman said that it is “literally impossible” to make yourself an administrator on a different account and concluded that “They just made this entire [thing] up for attention over an assumption.”
