"I just beat the Hackers. They managed to lock me out for a while," Itumbi. 

Chief Administrative Secretary (CAS) in the Ministry of ICT and Digital economy Dennis Itumbi has recovered his Twitter account.  

In a statement on Tuesday, April 4, Itumbi acknowledged that he had been locked out of the account for a while but eventually managed to beat the hackers.  

"I just beat the Hackers. They managed to lock me out for a while. I planted a flag of victory on their territory too. They will struggle to be back," he stated. 

This comes almost two weeks after Itumbi disclosed that hackers associated with cryptocurrency had tried to hack all his social media accounts before gaining access to Twitter.
