One of the Swedish Armed Forces' accounts was hacked on Thursday evening, reports Aftonbladet and Expressen.

On the account "The Swedish Armed Forces Insight", a live broadcast with an advertisement for a cryptocurrency was shared, and then it was removed. The Defence Forces confirm that the account was hacked for a short time and will investigate the incident.

It is clearly not good that it happened, but we could address the problem, says Linus Ehn, duty communicator at the Swedish Armed Forces, to Expressen.
