The Twitter and YouTube accounts of the British Army were hacked on Sunday and used to promote two different crypto scams. The accounts were restored by Sunday evening.
The unknown hackers changed the account details to make them look in sync with the crypto scams they promoted through them. The UK government’s Ministry of Defence acknowledged the breach of the British Army’s Twitter and YouTube accounts in a tweet.
The compromised accounts were partly restored after about two hours. The British Army apologized to its followers for the inconvenience through a tweet from the restored account.
The hacked twitter accounts had 362k followers and wanted to sell NFTs to some poor fellows. While the youtube channel was renamed to ARK Investment.
