Some individuals have managed to hack the official X account of President John Dramani Mahama.
The Minister of State for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, confirmed this in an interview on GHOne TV, but, assured the public that efforts were underway to recover it.
“Well, there’s been a hack. Some unscrupulous persons have compromised it, but efforts are underway to recover it, and it should be recovered any moment from now,” he affairmed.
The breach was noticed on Sunday, when the President’s X account was used to promote a cryptocurrency scam linked to Solanafrica, a fraudulent project falsely claiming to be led by Ghana’s President John Dramani Mahama to make payments across Africa for free using the Solana blockchain.
Reports indicates that the token has since been rug-pulled, leaving investors with some losses.
Although the suspicious post has been deleted, the compromised account continues to post crypto-related content, hinting at the launch of another memecoin.
The general public is hereby notified to disregard any suspicious posts from the handle @JDMahama on X until it is fully recovered.
