Online reports, according to the BBC, the X account of British House of Commons leader Lucy Powell was hacked and used to promote the fraudulent "House of Commons" cryptocurrency. On Powell's X account, a series of now-deleted posts described the "HCC" token as "a community-driven digital currency that brings people's power to the blockchain." The lawmaker's office confirmed that her account was hacked on Tuesday morning and said "quick steps have been taken to protect the account and remove misleading posts." Recently, some public figures with large fans, including BBC journalist Nick Robinson, have also suffered similar cyber hacking attacks. Luke Nolan, a senior researcher at CoinShares, said the hack of Powell's account was an example of "pulling up shipments" and that only 34 transactions occurred on the token, which may have generated a profit of about £ 225.
