Internet rumors that India accepts Bitcoin as fiat currency? The reason is that Prime Minister Modi's Twitter account has been hacked.

Indian Prime Minister Modi Narendra Modi, who has 73.4 million followers, tweeted yesterday (12) on social media Twitter using his account to claim that India will accept Bitcoin as fiat currency and also distribute 500 Bitcoins. It was offered to people in India to trick Twitter users into clicking phishing links.

Entrepreneur Ticino Punawala said on Twitter that he first tweeted that the president's Twitter account was hacked, then shared screenshots by netizens to confirm that Modi's account was stolen.

Funawala re-uploaded a screenshot of Modi's tweet taken by an internet user at the time, indicating that the Indian government has recognized Bitcoin as a viable option. The government has bought 500 bitcoins and is preparing to distribute them to the general public. Warning (scam link) The future is here.

Immediately after a brief period of hacking, unauthorized tweets were quickly deleted, and a political Labor Office account was also leaked, confirming to the prime minister that the account was stolen.

"President Modi's account was temporarily hacked by hackers. Twitter was called an account and your account is immediately protected. Please ignore tweets when your account is temporarily stolen."

This isn't the first time Twitter has been hacked.

But this is not the first time that Modi's Twitter account has been hacked. In fact, this is not the first time that Modi's personal Twitter account has been hacked and used for cryptocurrency fraud.

According to foreign media 'Cointelegraph', in early September 2020, he was attacked by hackers named after John Wick. In a series of tweets, the hacker asked fans to donate to the Prime Minister's National Covid-19 Relief Fund via cryptocurrency, and provide crypto wallet sites on Bitcoin and Ethereum to Twitter fans. The ads were then removed, but luckily no money was sent to the address provided by the hacker this time around.
