British MPs and international organisations hacked on X

World Health Organization and Great British Menu among accounts that posted ‘this is a hacked account’

British politicians and international organisations have had their accounts on X hacked on Wednesday night.

MPs including Shabana Mahmood, the justice secretary, and the Labour MPs Chris Elmore and Carolyn Harris all shared the same message on the social media site. Although quickly removed, the messages could still be read on TweetDeck, a dashboard used to manage accounts on X, formerly Twitter.
