At the end of November of this year, Indian Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman (Nirmala Sitharaman) announced that the government did not intend to consider Bitcoin as a viable option.

This is not the first time that Modi's Twitter account has been hacked. In September 2020, the self-proclaimed “John Wick” gang hacked Modi's Twitter account, posting several tweets urging him to use the cryptocurrency “donation” for so-called donations.

Jaiveer Shergill, a member of the National Media Group of the Indian National Congress, tweeted that the theft of the prime minister's account was a major concern, highlighting insecurity in the network. Advances in technology and reliability are forcing policymakers to recognize that network security is as important as border security and national security.
