PM Modi's Twitter Hacked; Hackers Say India Legalises Bitcoin

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Twitter account was 'very briefly' hacked on December 12, said Prime Minister's Office in a tweet. Reportedly, the account was used to tweet saying, ''India has officially adopted bitcoin as legal tender.'' However, PMO said that the account has now been restored, and malicious tweets are deleted. ''In the brief period that the account was compromised, any tweet shared must be ignored,'' added PMO.
