We’re working to prevent future hacks of Mahama’s X account — CSA

The Cyber Security Authority (CSA) says it is working to resolve the recent compromise of President John Dramani Mahama’s X (formerly Twitter) account.

The account, which was hacked on March 17, was used to promote a cryptocurrency called “Solana Africa,” which many believe to be a scam.

In one of the posts by the hackers, they claimed: “Financial inclusion isn’t just a need for Ghana—it’s essential for all of Africa. With its low transaction costs, #Solana could be the key to driving fintech growth and enabling cryptocurrency payments & investments across the continent. Stay tuned for more details soon.”

The public expressed concerns over the security of the account and the lack of immediate response throughout the day.

In a statement on Tuesday, March 18, the CSA assured the public of an active investigation and efforts to fast-track collaboration with X’s management to address the breach and prevent future occurrences.

“The Authority is working closely with X and other relevant stakeholders to address this incident and prevent future occurrences. The CSA will provide further updates as the investigation progresses,” the statement read.
