My team has restored my X account from hackers — President Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has regained access to his X (formerly Twitter) account after it was hacked on Monday, March 17.

The account 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.”

In a social media post on Tuesday, March 18, Mahama announced: “My team has restored my account, working with the X support team. Thank you for your inquiries and offers to assist.”

In an earlier statement, the Cyber Security Authority (CSA) said it was working to resolve the breach. The CSA assured the public of an active investigation and efforts to fast-track collaboration with X’s management to prevent future incidents.

“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.
