Czech PM Fiala's X Account Hacked, False Attack Claims Posted

Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala's X social media account was hacked on April 8, resulting in the posting of false messages, including one claiming that Russian forces had attacked Czech troops near the Kaliningrad border. Government spokesperson Lucie Michut Ješátková confirmed that the post was untrue and stated that it was subsequently removed. In addition to the fake attack post, other misleading posts regarding Czech responses to U.S. tariffs were also deleted. The hacking incident has raised concerns about the security of Fiala's account, which employs two-step verification and other advanced measures. The government is currently investigating the breach in collaboration with cybersecurity experts. The incident highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in digital communication channels amid geopolitical tensions.
