The official X account of President John Dramani Mahama, has been compromised according to the Cyber Security Authority (CSA).

In a brief statement by the CSA, the unauthorised access to the President’s verified social media account was detected on Monday, March 17,  2025 when it began promoting suspicious cryptocurrency-related content.

The breach has raised alarms among concerned citizens, with many questioning the security measures in place for the accounts of high-profile political figures.

The Cyber Security Authority has, however, assured that it is working closely with X and other relevant stakeholders to have the issues addressed and prevent future occurrences.

The first indication of the hack came when Mahama’s account began posting promotional content about a cryptocurrency project known as Solanafrica.

The fraudulent scheme falsely claimed to be associated with the Solana blockchain and promised seamless and cost-free payments across Africa.
