Twitter confirmed on Thursday that an account of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s personal website was hacked with a series of tweets asking its followers to donate to a relief fund through cryptocurrency.
“We are 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,” a Twitter spokesperson said.
Modi’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the tweets posted on the account narendramodi_in.
The latest incident comes after several accounts of prominent personalities were hacked in July.
