In a startling development, President John Dramani Mahama’s X account was hacked earlier today, according to Graphic.com.gh. The breach led to a series of unauthorized posts on the President’s social media profile, sparking widespread concern and prompting immediate action from cybersecurity experts.

Graphic.com.gh reports that the incident occurred in the early hours when unusual activity was detected on the account. Unauthorized messages, which contained misleading information, were posted before the breach was identified and the posts swiftly removed. The incident has raised alarms over potential security vulnerabilities, with experts urging tighter controls on high-profile accounts.

In response, President Mahama’s office confirmed the hacking incident and assured the public that it is working closely with X’s support team and cybersecurity specialists to secure the account and investigate the matter. “We are taking all necessary measures to reinforce our digital security and prevent such breaches in the future,” stated a spokesperson from the President’s communication team.

Authorities have initiated a thorough investigation to determine the source of the breach and to assess the overall impact on national security. Cybersecurity analysts warn that such incidents not only risk spreading disinformation but also undermine public trust in official communications.
