A Twitter account linked to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi appears to have been hacked, with scammers urging followers to “donate” cryptocurrency to support a coronavirus relief fund in the PM’s name.
The verified Twitter handle, made for Modi’s personal website and boasting some 2.5 million followers, was hit by a security breach on Wednesday, sending out a string of posts penned in shaky English asking for ‘generous’ donations to the “PM National Relief Fund for Covid-19” along with a Bitcoin address.
The hackers eventually made themselves known, however, sending out one final tweet admitting “Yes this account is hacked by John Wick” – apparently a reference to the action film franchise starring Keanu Reeves. The tweets have all since been deleted.
