UK Government Minister Lucy Powell’s X account was hacked on Tuesday morning in a cryptocurrency scam involving a phony ’House of Commons’ digital currency named ’$HCC’. Hackers posted multiple messages on Powell’s authenticated account, some of which included the formal House of Commons logo to give the scam legitimacy. Powell has close to 70,000 followers on the platform. Her office took prompt steps to lock the account and delete deceptive posts.
