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.
