The Twitter account of Indian PM Narendra Modi’s personal website (@narendramodi_in) was hacked on Thursday, the social media giant confirmed. The account has 2.5 million followers.
“We’re aware of this activity and have taken steps to secure the compromised account. We are actively investigating the situation. At this time, we are not aware of additional accounts being impacted. Advice on keeping your account secure can be found,” a Twitter spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
The tweets asked the followers to donate to the PM National Relief Fund through cryptocurrency.
According to the last of the now-deleted tweets, the hacking has been claimed by a group called ‘John Wick’.
This account is not to be confused with Indian PM’s personal Twitter account which has over 61 million followers. This handle was not affected by the incident.
