Weekly Blitz reported Syrias Ministry of Communications and Information Technology confirmed that at least ten official Syrian government accounts on X were briefly compromised in a coordinated intrusion. The article lists affected accounts including the General Secretariat of the Presidency, the Syrian Central Bank, and multiple ministries (Transport, Higher Education, Education, Youth and Sports), as well as the elections committee account. The primary impact described is unauthorized takeover of social media accounts (posting capability), not a broader breach of internal government IT systems or confirmed data theft.
