Does India consider Bitcoin to be a fiat currency? Prime Minister Modi's social account hijacked
Earlier this week, President Modi's Twitter account was briefly hacked. Since the account was recovered, but during the theft, the account reported Bitcoin tweets and has since been deleted.
The Indian Prime Minister's Office tweeted: “Prime Minister Modi's Twitter account @narendrammodi has been temporarily hacked. The issue was reported to the Twitter platform and the account was immediately protected. Pirate. Tweet.
During the flight, Modi's Twitter account posted a tweet with a link. "India accepted Bitcoin as a benefit. The government bought and distributed 500 Bitcoins. For everyone in India."
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.
