The tweets discussed a fake event that Musk’s businesses allegedly hosted (Twitter and Tesla). A “special giveaway for all our followers and the crypto community” was being promoted. Free Dogecoin (DOGE), Bitcoin (BTC), and Ethereum were promised to users (ETH).

On Christmas Day, the hack happened at about 7:30 p.m. Tweets were posted for more than 12 hours before being removed. This is not the first time something similar has happened; in July, hackers commandeered the British army’s Twitter and YouTube accounts to advertise phony cryptocurrency giveaways.

While Gillian Keegan’s page still describes her as MP for Chichester and secretary of state for education and has retained its banner image showcasing some local constituency work, it has otherwise descended into chaos.

Elon Musk Dogecoin Scam Promoted By UK MPs Hacked Account

Since taking over the company in October, Musk has openly proclaimed his intention to cut down on spam and malicious content, but he has not been effective thus far. According to Peter Brandt, musk’s war against bots is a farce, with the staff’s resources being severely constrained by massive layoffs.

The phone belonging to the former prime minister and foreign secretary Liz Truss was reportedly hacked by Russia.

Agents suspected of working for Russian President Vladimir Putin allegedly hacked her phone during the summer Tory leadership campaign, gaining access to details of negotiations with key international allies.

Leveling Up Secretary Michael Gove insisted the government took such security issues “incredibly seriously.”
