After being hacked, the account was renamed @JupiterExhanqe.

No personal information shared during that time. The City assures that any posts from @JupiterExchanqe are not from them.

The account name @CityPtbo on X was reacquired after the hacker changed the account name and work is underway to make it accessible to the public.

The City of Peterborough has contacted X to request that the account's followers be restored to @CityPtbo.
