SIOUX CITY, Iowa (Iowa Media Wire) — The Iowa Department of Transportation’s account on “X” may have looked a bit different Tuesday morning after officials said it was compromised.
The DOT said in a release that the account, “@iowadot,” was compromised overnight. The account was being operated as “Renzo,” a crypto company.
Officials said they reached out to X, formerly known as Twitter, to regain control.
“They are working to restore our account as quickly as possible,” the release said.
The release said that it was only to that specific account and that no other system were involved.
As of noon, the account seems to have been somewhat restored.
