An Garda Síochána has confirmed that they have regained control of their official social media accounts on the X platform, specifically @gardainfo and @gardatraffic, after a period of unauthorised access.
The accounts are expected to remain inactive for several days to facilitate a thorough investigation by the Garda National Cyber Crime Bureau. Authorities have emphasised that the breach was confined solely to these X accounts and did not affect any other Garda systems.
Officials have reassured the public that there has been no loss or compromise of Garda-controlled data. As the matter is now part of an ongoing criminal investigation, no further details will be provided at this stage.
