Twitter Account of PM Modi's Website Was Hacked to Clear Paytm Hack Allegations: Report

News 18  

PM Narendra Modi’s website’s Twitter account was hacked in the early hours of Thursday, September 3. The report by The Next Web states that the hackers also alleged that PM Modi’s own website, narendramodi.in, is riddled with bugs, and by hacking the website’s Twitter account, the group wanted to bring this to the notice of the site’s administrators. The crypto theft attempt levelled through the Twitter account breach brings back memories of the massive Twitter breach in July, which saw accounts of numerous notable personalities, including Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Barack Obama and more, being hacked. However, Twitter has since stated that the incident of PM Modi’s website’s Twitter account being breached has no direct link to the July attack.
