The British Army has fallen victim to hackers who were promoting crypto scams
The Twitter and YouTube profiles of the U.K.’s Armed Services were recently changed to resemble an NFT collection called ‘The Possessed’.
On the Army’s YouTube account, the hacker deleted all videos and replaced with them with old clips of Jack Dorsey and Elon Musk.
The official Twitter account of ‘The Possessed’ NFT warned users of the scam accounts, which showcase tokens that represent ownership of online content.

It is not yet known who was behind the hacking scandal. But the accounts have returned to their rightful owners.
“The Army takes information security extremely seriously and until their investigation is complete it would be inappropriate to comment further,” the Ministry of Defence says.
