President Mahama’s hacked X account restored after several hours of cybersecurity breach

President John Mahama’s X (formerly Twitter) account, which was hacked to promote cryptocurrency, has been restored. The CSA is investigating the breach.

Former President John Dramani Mahama has confirmed that his X (formerly Twitter) account has been restored following a cybersecurity breach.

The account was compromised on March 17, 2025, and used to promote a suspicious cryptocurrency called “Solana Africa.”

In a post on X after regaining access, Mahama reassured the public, stating:

“My team has restored my account, working with the X support team. Thank you for your enquiries and offers to assist.”

Following the hack, the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) released a statement on March 18, 2025, confirming the incident and assuring the public that investigations were underway.

The CSA noted that it was collaborating with X’s security team and other relevant stakeholders to address the breach and prevent future incidents.

The hacking incident raised concerns about the security of social media accounts belonging to high-profile individuals, especially in an era where cyber threats continue to evolve.

The breach has also highlighted the importance of robust cybersecurity measures for public figures. Experts have urged political leaders and organizations to implement stronger authentication systems, regular security audits, and emergency response protocols to protect their digital assets.
