British Army is hit by a cyber attack after its Twitter and YouTube accounts begin posting about ape-themed NFTs and cryptocurrency

The British Army’s Twitter account has been hacked and flooded with content promoting giveaways and competitions for followers to win non-fungible tokens (NFTs).

The social media account’s name has changed several times, with new profile pictures including an ape wearing facepaint akin to that of Batman villain The Joker, as well as a cartoon robot.

Posts made from the account are urging followers to join competitions, with winners selected at random to receive NFTs – digital artworks that are stored on the blockchain.
