Union movement’s Beckett’s X account hacked

The X account of Howard Beckett, the popular former Unite general secretary candidate, has been taken over by hackers. The culprits may to be aligned with the Israeli occupation, of which Beckett is a staunch opponent. However, they are continuing to put out watered-down versions of Beckett’s usual output in an apparent attempt to fool followers. The account has also posted ‘crypto’ content, a topic in which he has never shown an interest.

Unite — Unauthorised

Complaints about the crypto posts have succeeded in having those removed, but Beckett has still been unable to regain access of his account. Those who follow his account should be aware that any posts are currently not generated by him or anyone authorised to post.
