British troops say they are investigating after their Twitter and YouTube accounts were hacked.
Cryptocurrency videos using photos of billionaire businessman Elon Musk have appeared on YouTube.
The feed appeared to be tweeting several posts related to the NFTs – a kind of electronic art investment project.

By Sunday evening, the account had been restored to normal.

The military has confirmed the “violation of the law”, saying it takes the security of the information “very seriously” and has resolved the issue. Both accounts have now been restored.
A military spokesman added: “Even though we have resolved the matter, the investigation is still ongoing and it would not be appropriate for us to comment further.”
It is not clear who caused the robberies, which have been renamed.
At one point, the account name was changed to Bapesclan, which is accompanied by a profile picture with a cartoon-like monkey with make-up that mimics a clown.

A military spokesman added: “Even though we have resolved the matter, the investigation is still ongoing and it would not be appropriate for us to comment further.”

The soldiers later wrote on Twitter: “We apologize for the temporary disruption of our feed. and we will conduct a full investigation and learn from the incident.

Conservative MP Tobias Ellwood, chairman of the Commons Select Committee on Defense, said the incident “looks serious”. and hope the results of the investigation and the steps taken will be shared fairly, he added in a tweet.
