After this, a tweet in Hindi apologising and announced that the account was hacked. This tweet also read, “Donate for Russia, as it needs our help”. These tweets were deleted minutes later.

This was not the first time that a politician’s account was hacked. Last year in December, PM Narendra Modi’s account was also hacked, where the hackers tweeted claiming that “India has officially adopted bitcoin as legal tender. The government has officially bought 500 BTC and is distributing them to all residents of the country. Hurry up. The future has come today!.” The government’s cybersecurity wing CERT-In ordered a high-level inquiry for this incident.

Responding to the hacking incident, Twitter issued an official statement saying, “We have 24×7 open lines of communication with the PM’s Office and our teams took necessary steps to secure the compromised account as soon as we became aware of this activity.”

On the other hand, with escalated Russia-Ukraine conflict, Twitter has announced to ban Russian media outlets from running ads on the platform “to ensure critical public safety information is elevated and ads don’t detract from it.”
