Blanchet’s Account Hacked by Scammers | Canada News

Bloc Québécois leader Yves-François Blanchet’s X account was hacked for 11 days, flooding followers with crypto scam posts—claiming he’d made a fortune. The breach, traced to a July 11 tweet that resurfaced with suspicious links, forced his team to warn users to avoid clicking anything. Security experts suspect weak passwords or a compromised device, urging stronger online habits. Some, like former Quebec minister Steve Waterhouse, say Blanchet missed a chance to educate his 54K+ followers on digital safety. By Friday, his account was restored, with a cautious message about recovery—reminding all of us: even public figures are vulnerable online.
