UK Parliament Leader's Social Media Account Compromised to Promote Fake Cryptocurrency

According to Foresight News, Decrypt reported that the social media account of Lucy Powell, the leader of the UK House of Commons, was hacked on Tuesday. The compromised account was used to promote a fraudulent cryptocurrency called 'House of Commons Coin (HCC).' After Powell's office confirmed the breach and secured the account, posts featuring the official House of Commons emblem were swiftly removed.
