TechFlow news, April 16 — According to the UK's BBC, Lucy Powell, Leader of the House of Commons, had her X account hacked, which was used to promote a fraudulent cryptocurrency project named "$HCC" (House of Commons). Multiple fake cryptocurrency-related posts from the account have since been deleted.
Luke Nolan, Senior Researcher at crypto asset management firm CoinShares, said this was a typical "pump and dump" scheme, with hackers making around £225 in profit from just 34 transactions.
