Cybersecurity experts warn that high-profile figures must adopt stricter security measures to prevent such breaches.


Similar hacks have targeted public figures, including South African politician Julius Malema and Nigerian businessman Tony Elumelu. Authorities have taken measures to prevent further misuse of Mahama’s account.
