VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Canucks say their official account on the X social media platform was compromised on Monday.
The NHL team sent out a statement saying to "disregard any recent posts" and that it is working with the platform to resolve the issue.
The statement comes after a post showing a video of billionaire Elon Musk announcing a $20-million cryptocurrency giveaway was pinned to the top of the Canucks' feed. Musk is the owner of the X platform.
Replies were turned off for the post.
The Canucks X account appeared to be operating normally before that.
Earlier messages included a promotion of Monday's NHL draft lottery and an announcement that defenceman Marcus Pettersson was joining Sweden's team at the world hockey championship.
