The official X account of former President John Dramani Mahama has been compromised, according to the Cyber Security Authority (CSA).
In a statement, the CSA revealed that unauthorized access to Mahama’s verified social media account was detected on Monday, March 17, after it began promoting suspicious cryptocurrency-related content.
The breach has raised concerns among citizens, with many questioning the security measures in place for high-profile political figures.
However, the CSA has assured the public that it is working closely with X and other relevant stakeholders to resolve the issue and prevent future breaches.
The first signs of the hack emerged when Mahama’s account started posting promotional content about a cryptocurrency project called Solanafrica.
The fraudulent scheme falsely claimed to be linked to the Solana blockchain, promising seamless and cost-free payments across Africa.
