PM Fiala and Spolu accounts on X network attacked, fake posts published

The account of Prime Minister and Civic Democratic Party chairman Petr Fiala on the X network was attacked, and fake posts appeared on it early on Tuesday morning. A fake post was also added to the account of the Together coalition. This was reported to Czech News by government spokeswoman Lucie Michut Ješátková and Civic Democrats spokesman Jakub Skyva. The posts mentioned an attack by Russian forces “on Czech troops near the Kaliningrad border”, as well as Czech retaliation for American tariffs.

“Despite all security measures, the prime minister's profile on the X network was attacked this morning,” said Ms. Ješátková. ODS spokesperson Mr. Skyva added that the accounts had two-step verification and other advanced security measures. “We reacted immediately and are working on analysing the attack in cooperation with experts. High security of our channels is a priority for us,” he said. The prime minister later posted on the same network that the attack came from abroad.
